Homeschool Transcripts

So I've also recently published another book - different genre altogether. Home School Transcripts was written out of my desire to help other parents prepare for high school and the resulting college admissions process.

My daughter applied to seven colleges and universities after several college visits narrowed down a lengthy list. She was accepted at all seven schools and was offered significant scholarships at all but one. That seventh school was an afterthought, and she didn't even apply until spring long after scholarship dollars had already been dispersed.

All that said, she managed to do this with only average SAT and ACT scores.

I believe it was our transcript which showed her to be very well-rounded, reflecting the whole person, not just a snapshot of her academic performance. Having a variety of activities noted, awards for volunteerism, and a reflection of the pursuit of her passion, her transcript was mentioned to me by several of the colleges on subsequent visits.

The format was clear. The academics were noted. Her personality sparkled on paper!

After many people requested consultations for transcripts, I began giving seminars, and continued on to write the book now published on Amazon Kindle. Pick up a copy and let me know what you think. I'm writing the 2nd edition now, so contact me with questions you may have about the book. You might find your question answered in the next edition! Check it out here: http://goo.gl/4Nj1Y
