Virginia Tech, what to send in?

[fixingrocks]

My daughter decided kind of at the last minute (ok, really at the last minute!) to apply to Va Tech--got her app. in just before midnight last night, their deadline.  

I cannot find any good information on what I need to mail in, aside from a brief statement about mailing in official or unofficial transcripts, which is not specific to homeschoolers.  

In speaking with them at a local college fair they were very homeschool friendly, stating what a great experience they've had with homeschooled students.  Is it possible that this is all they want? Her transcript is filled with 3 semesters of CC classes, so maybe they won't care about course descriptions from 2 years ago.

I am trying to get together this last information this weekend, so while I can call Monday morning, I was hoping someone on here will let me know what they did, I know I saw some Va Tech acceptances on the accepted thread. 

Thanks!

My oldest ds is there as a freshman this year.  I honestly can't remember what I had to mail in for them, but it definitely wasn't anything weird.  I think it was just the transcript, and I also included our school profile.  I'm pretty sure I didn't even send in course descriptions!  I can't remember a counselor letter, but there may have been one. Like I said, I remember it as being very easy!

Do you need to send any documents to support residency status?  We ran into that with another VA school.

Thanks for the input. It seems too easy, guess I should be happy. We're not VA residents, so no proof needed there.

I sent transcript, school profile and course descriptions.  Pretty much all the same stuff I'd created for the Common App.

 

I had a page from Va Tech that was for the counselor to submit the transcript, but I can't find the form now.  Maybe it came in an email.  I used that page as my cover sheet and sent in the other documents.

Dd1 completed the online application. I sent in test scores, cc transcript, and mailed her transcript. All her boxes are checked, so I assume all is good.

This is the form I sent in with documents for ds.  http://www.admiss.vt.edu/form-pdf/highschoolsup.pdf

 

I included a school profile and course descriptions, since I already had done them for Common App and because I thought it gave useful information.  I did not do the counselor ranking on the form, but explained in the cover letter that I had not ranked him, because he did not have a class cohort to be ranked against.  In the next paragraph I stated that I thought he had a good academic record and called attention to a couple courses and scores that supported the statement.

 

He hasn't heard from Va Tech on his application yet, but I have not seen a request for additional information.

I also found this cover sheet for sending in a Mid Year Report.  http://www.admiss.vt.edu/form-pdf/mid_year_school_report.pdf

 

However, at this point, your transcript might simply include any mid year grades.  

 

This form does have a good address for submitting the transcripts.
