I am an international and I have a huge problem with the common application.

<p>I am an international and I have finished high school and currently taking a gap year. I want to apply in some universities for the year 2011 but i have some things I don't understand.
First of all what is the secondary school counselor? I don't have the same system, I don't have one. And also, I have already graduated so I have no report to give to them but I have my diploma. How should I approach this issues? It's a big problem since a lot of questions relating to these issues are mandatory in order to send the common app. Should I contact with the common app and the individual colleges?</p>
