"Do you complete applicants' academic ratings on the Common Application School Report?"

 

and

 

"Please indicate number of official transcript you can provide for the applicant."

 

I don't understand what they want to know.

 

Thanks  in advance for any help!!

 

For the first, I answered 'yes'.  The academic ratings is a section when you select the student's name.  The questions start with:  Compared to other students...

 

I had 2 "official" transcript.  The first was my transcript.  The second was my course descriptions.

 

HTH!

I have been told not to include CC and PS transcript on the common app because they must be sent directly from the schools...

 

 

Oops! I meant to reply last night, but forgot ...

 

Agreeing with Sue. I had two "official" transcripts -- the transcript and the course descriptions. CC and uni transcripts will be sent directly from the colleges. I have heard of people who also upload their student's reading list here (you can submit up to 4 "transcripts" here).

Oops.   I answered that question no.  :confused1:    I thought it was still in reference to class ranking, etc.   I did wonder if I was misunderstanding, but by that pt I was sick of the whole thing.  Don't think I'll tell ds about that mistake. :leaving:

 

I don't think it is a mistake - I took the question to mean "do I bother filling out the ranking stuff", and I did bother, so i answered "yes". If you don't fill it in, since it has really no meaning for a homeschool, saying no would be fine.

 

I also have tow transcripts, the actual transcript and the course descriptions. Giving a number in answer to this question makes that number of spots available for file upload.
