Should I list my stepfather as my "Parent 2"?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hi! I was wondering if on the common application, I should list my stepfather as "Parent 2", and explain it in the additional info section, or if I should list my biological father instead, even though I have not had much contact with him at all. </p>

<p>Should I instead list my biological father, and then explain in the additional info section?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your time in advance! This whole topic is pretty confusing to me.</p>

<p>I listed my Stepfather as a parent; he's pretty much raised me almost my entire life and I don't think of him as any less than a father, and I've never even met my biological dad. I don't know the specifics of your situation but I'd say if you feel the same way as I do you'd do the same. :)</p>
