I was raised for sixteen years of my life by my single mother of four children. She never completed high school and never supported me academically. However, this past year I moved in with my well educated father and step mother. My SAT scores are adequate, but they are based off of my determination to study (started off at 1700…) not as a reflection of my dad’s and step mother’s income. I guess what I’m trying to say is how can I convey they side of my life through my application when all the information asks about my father’s side? My application would look like its two people using one application!
