readwithem Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I would think the answers are typical of "selective" colleges. Very informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca in VA Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What a nice guy -- I'm half-ready to send one of my kids to Vanderbilt after watching him! His advice was solid and obviously heart-felt. Thank you for making it available for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks so much for posting this. Although we are several years from this process, it has really helped me feel less anxious about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahwahnee Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What do you think would be the best way to handle his recommendation letters as a homeschooler? The writer needs to describe the students development in subjects. Would they ignore a recommendation from parents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in MA Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 that they would accept a recommendation letter from someone other than a school subject teacher from a homeschooler. My son is an Eagle Scout, and they recommended that his Scoutmaster would be an excellent choice to write the letter because he's known my son for several years and has seen him develop. They definitely said that the recommendation letter should come from someone other than a parent. I would imagine that another community person who has known your child for some time (like a church leader, sports coach, volunteer coordinator, etc.) would also be an excellent choice. HTH, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What do you think would be the best way to handle his recommendation letters as a homeschooler? Will your students have had any outside courses/co-ops/on-line courses? The possibility of getting recommendation letters is one reason to have homeschooled kids participate in those. (I realize most moms probably want other compelling reasons also...but there's one!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
