<p>Hi, everyone! I have a question and it worries me a bit. On my Common App, I specified that I am living with one parent; however, my college counselor who wrote and submitted my application was under the impression that I live with both my parents. Now, I don't know if she included that or not in my recommendation, and I don't want to ask because she is not the friendliest. I know it may seem trivial, but I was just worried that the misinformation may affect my chances for financial aid... it won't, right? Because that's for the FAFSA to prove, right?</p>
<p>I don’t know why a guidance counselor would even detail anything about your home life. At least I don’t think that’s what their recommendations are used for.</p>
<p>Yeah, I didn’t think so either. They probably just ask if in case someone is living in poverty, homeless, emancipated, or some extreme situation. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>No, the questions involve things like: first words that come to mind, respect accorded by faculty, creativity, maturity, etc. Nothing about your home life unless it needs to be mentioned to explain something in your record.</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much! Sorry for the late reply, but I really do appreciate your taking the time out to respond :)</p>
