Admissions Advice

Common app
Answered

Hello, my name is Vitoria. I'm an international student applying as a transfer and I have a question about the section parent/guardian in the common app. It asks about living but I am afraid that I do not quite understand what that means haha If someone could explain to me what should I mark in this question I would be very grateful.

Sorry about the dumb question lol I am doing this process all by my self and I just wanted to make sure to do everything right.

Thanks again :)

Hi Vitoria!

The section about your parents "living"means that they are alive. If you answer yes, then they are still alive, if they have passed, then you answer no.

No question on CollegeVine is dumb! We are all learning together. Good luck with college admissions! If you have any other questions, feel free asking!
