<p>Hey so I have a question about how I should fill out the Family section on the common app. My mother died when I was younger and my father remarried a few years ago. For my parents should I list my step-mother in any way or should I just fill in the area for my father and what I can for my mother.
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You need to list your step-mom.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to follow the directions: “Please list both parents below, even if one or more is deceased or no longer has legal responsibilities toward you. Many colleges collect this information for demographic purposes even if you are an adult or an emancipated minor. If you are a minor with a legal guardian (an individual or government entity), then please list that information below as well. If you wish, you may list step-parents and/or other adults with whom you reside, or who otherwise care for you, in the Additional Information section.”</p>
