readwithem Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) I have all my daughter's "stuff" in a great big file - a book list for each year, her Latin tests, music theory tests, papers she's written.... just in a big ole file. This process is intimidating to me - maybe even more so than any other aspect of the college application process. I know once I get started, I'll be fine. But I would LOVE to see the formats used by those who have gone before me. :) Please feel free to black out any grades or other confidential information. Really I just want to know how to get started. Did you list courses by grade or topic area (all maths together, etc.)? Did you list every textbook used? For science, did you list experiments performed (I've seen this requirement for one college, but it's not on dd's VERY short list at the moment) What did you do with senior year classes, the classes they're taking while the application is under consideration? Did you give each class a number of credits? Yes my head is spinning :) Thanks so much for helping to bring me back to earth.

periwinkle Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) I tweaked and used the one found on this site, which sorts by grade: http://www.donnayoung.org/forms/planners/hs-transcript.htm but the version here sorts by subject: http://www.covenant.edu/admissions/undergrad/home-schooled And one more site: http://www.hslda.org/highschool/academics.asp#transcripts The textbooks and such would go under your course descriptions (if you are submitting them). For senior year, I simply listed the course titles and put an asterisk in the grading section which was noted on the bottom of the transcript as *in progress. ETA: I didn't mean to sound snotty when I said they were easy, just that they are not as difficult and scary as one might think! :-) Edited October 20, 2008 by periwinkle additional info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hello readwithem, There are some transcript examples in the file sections of the following Yahoo groups (you do need to join to see them): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conservativehs2c/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/homeschool2college/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hs2coll/ The last group has some particularly impressive examples. I've modeled my teen's transcript after one of the ones I found there. If you send me a personal message with your email address, I'd be happy to send mine to you. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moni Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That's pretty much exactly our plan. Seems pretty basic-standard to me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I couldn't afford to spend $50 for the TranscriptPro software that would do it all for me, so I did it myself in Microsoft Word. It was very time-consuming, but it turned out looking GREAT. And for EK, I won't have to set it all up again; it's saved on my computer, so all I should have to do is put EK's information in place of ER's. Here is a link to the sample I used: http://http://www.homeschooltranscripts.com/pdf/StandardSortbySubjectFormat.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things you hear about 3-4 years too early :) BTW your link had one too many "http" at the front - here it is http://www.homeschooltranscripts.com/pdf/StandardSortbySubjectFormat.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
