The Common App only asks about parents. But realize the lead anecdote in the article is via a paid counselor.

Colleges can take some leeway. No parent college, parents didn’t complete the degree, or a grey area like katliamom’s, where there just was no college-bound influence in the reality.

I do find it odd the article describes a kid whose grandfather paid for a private counselor.
