People who've listed family members as verifiers...what happened?

[robins_under]

There are certain experiences I have in my top 16 that only my parents would be able to verify. For people who've used their parents or another family member, how did the UofA respond? Were they okay with it or did they ask for other sources of verification, documentation, etc.

I used a family member to verify an activity or two in both years I have applied. They did not contact me and I scored 8/17 on my EC section last application cycle (and interviewed both applications). I’m not sure how they look at these activities for scoring your ECs but it definitely didn’t hold me back from interviewing or receiving an above average score.

I used family members for 2 or 3 items and was accepted last year. I think they understand that certain valuable experiences aren't really formal. If it's something that you feel is important to you, I say go for it.

I used my mom as a verifier for a couple of activities and I was accepted this year.
