    I am working with a high school senior and just starting on coaching through applications, college choices, etc. A question came up regarding his family reporting. He lives with his mom. Father died when he was 4 months old. Mom remarried and son has step-dad’s name, etc. So, the question is:
    Do we put down bio-dad’s info instead of mom and step-dad? why? What are the pros and cons of each, This kid never ever knew his real father. Thanks!

    It’s strange I did not get this as a personal message … Well, I think you HAVE to give information about his step-dad as they live in the same household, and I don’t think it’s necessary to include information about his biological father. I just looked at the common application … it would be very difficult to show the real situation in this form, and I think it’s useless to try. Hope that helps!

    Hi Emily,
    I know this email is out of the blue, but I just posted an article on my blog entitled “Top 50 Free Websites to Look for Scholarships” at http://universityonline.org/top-50-free-websites-to-look-for-scholarships/. Anyway I figured I’d bring it to your attention in case you thought it interesting enough to drop a quick mention on your site about it as I’m trying to increase readership of my blog.
    Either way, sorry for the unsolicited email and hope you have a good week.
    Thanks,
    Adrienne Carlson
