<p>So I'm getting a head start on the Common App, and I come across the family section where it asks for parents marital status. My parents live separated but are not legally divorced. Should I put separated or married? I've heard that at some schools, if your parents aren't married, it will lead to more complications when it comes to financial aid and stuff. Is that true? Thanks</p>
<p>separated</p>
<p>Just FYI, the common app gets purged July 15th… I started on my App too, and I read it AFTER I completed most of it. I just printed off each page so I can have all of the info that I input into the system.</p>
