M&MsMom Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have uploaded my DD's transcript to the Common App and it includes the courses she took at FLVS. Should I order an FLVS Official Transcript as well? I couldn't upload it directly to the Common App. It would be sent to the school electronically through Parchment. I'm just wondering if this is redundant or a good confirmation of my transcript grades... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 My DS is a sophomore and we haven't been through the process of applying to colleges yet, but I always assumed that yes, we would request official transcripts from FLVS, since they are an accredited school. I'd be interested to see what others have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2att Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My oldest graduated in 2014 and had several FLVS classes on her homeschool transcript. I did not have anything sent from FLVS and she was accepted at all the schools she applied to. Obviously, things may have changed since then, and your best bet is to ask the college if they want/need that information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It is not necessary if your dd took the classes as a homeschooled student. We chose not to, mainly because our reports included all of the middle school classes the girls took as well and that would likely have just added confusion. No one questioned our FLVS grades.

M&MsMom Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks for all your input! Based on these answers, I will just rely on my transcript and send official FLVS if specifically requested. I love the collective wisdom of this board. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know! There are so many nuances to homeschooling through high school - I appreciate learning from others' experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Once your apps are in, check on her applicant portal (the colleges will send her a link once she is processed) to make sure all materials are received. If there is any question as to whether they want a transcript from FLVS, there will probably be an indicator on the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
