<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a homeschool student applying to colleges soon. Though much of the Common Application are self-explanatory, there is several facets which I find confusing beyond belief.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>In the CommonApp, there is a series of questions (mandatory, all of them) about high-school counselors. Being a thorough-bred homeschooler, I have always counseled myself in the academics (my mother helped when I was too young to make decisions, but now it's mostly me). I don't have a high-school counselor, but the form wants me to write who it is, and all their contact info. How do I find a counselor?!</p></li>
<li><p>The common application also goes into stuff like class ranking and class sizes. Being homeschooled with my brother throughout my life, I guess I have a class size of 2. Is there a way to figure out the class size for my graduation, or do I just have to make up a number? (I can't leave it blank, it's mandatory)</p></li>
<li><p>About high-schools. Technically, I guess I've attended a lot of institutions. I took classes at three universities (one of which I dual-enrolled throughout high-school, another I attended as a non-degree seeking student, and the last I spent the summer in learning a new language). Should I put these universities down as institutes that I went to, even though they are not high-schools?</p></li>
<li><p>What is the process for letters of Reccomendation? I have several teachers who want to write me one, but the system confuses me a little. do I have to invite them before they can write the letter? And if I do that, what happens? do the get an e-mail telling them to fill it out? I'm so confused.</p></li>
