I'm a homeschooler and having trouble figuring out what to do with the counselor... help!

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>My parents have been my counselor since I turned to homeschooling, but I've also got a mentor with whom I've kept in touch since I met her at school (She's a retired teacher and author, etc.). I'd say she knows me best, so I asked her if she could write me a letter of recommendation.
I had asked two teachers before I asked her and the two also said they would write me teacher evaluations, so I was thinking I should assign the mentor as a GC (and she did do the job via the e-mail). Does it look weird to have someone other than my parents as a GC? Or can I say my parents are my counselor in the "Common App" section and then get a letter from the mentor???</p>

<p>oh I figured out I could assign more than 2 teachers. Sorry!</p>

<p>I’ve got another question: should I get a GC letter from my parents? Is that even necessary?</p>
