nancy in nj Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 For those of you who submitted course descriptions (Required by Chapel Hill) with you common ap, which section did you submit them under? I see two possibilities: 1. As an addendum to the School Profile or 2. In the same file as the transcript so the file would include: 1 page transcript, outside documentation/grade reports from PA homeschoolers etc to support the transcript and then 3 my 7 page course description. I'm torn....will those familiar with the common app please give me your opinions? Thanks! Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda in MA Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nancy, I put the 8 pages of course descriptions after the transcript, and I uploaded them all together in the secondary school report form under "transcript". The transcript was a one page document that just listed the course names, how many credits they were worth, and the grade. The course descriptions contained a 3 - 5 sentence narrative of the course followed by a list of the books, DVDs, etc. that we used. I also included the instructor name and qualifications for courses taught by some one outside the home. Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy in nj Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thank you! I will file the course description behind the transcript. Almost done--at least with my part. Dd has her 1st app in and 5-6 to go-at least she now only has to focus on the supplements rather than the common app essay and other stuff.

dirty ethel rackham Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I did it in the same file as the transcript. I would put it before the grade reports. I would, however, note on the transcript page with a footnote where to find them. Many schools don't need to see the grade reports from outside providers (unless they are a brick and mortar school or a college.) I didn't provide them for my son and no one asked to see them. If someone had asked, I suppose I could have scrounged them. Most of our outside providers didn't give us much in the way of documentation. If I had asked, I could have received more info, though.
