<p>I was in public school until 11th grade, then we moved and now I am homeschooled. At the time I filled out my college app, I put in the information for the counselor at my old school. I have read that usually the parent serves as the counselor for home school applicants? On top of that, my old counselor will send my transcript with none of my senior classes on it. Should I just merge my high school transcript with my home school classes and have my mom fax/send it to Admissions? Should my mom complete the midyear/final report and send it to them as well? Gah, so messed up, I hope all this nonsense makes sense to someone and that it doesn't decrease my chances of getting to go where i applied.</p>
<p>I wrote my D’s counselor letter, and I included a paragraph about why we chose to homeschool. I think something like this is very important information for your prospective colleges since you have only homeschooled for the past year. Your former counselor doesn’t really play any part in this UNLESS you choose for them to write your letter of recommendation. Your school will actually be the one sending in your transcript.</p>
<p>I would not blend the two together (the 9-11, plus 12 grade). Those other transcripts are validly from your former high school.</p>
<p>I don’t think you’ve messed anything up at all. It also never hurts to actually call the college to find out what they prefer.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Agree, in this case, ask the colleges. Likely, you’ll end up with a hybrid app. Don’t know what your deadlines were, but you should act fast. The old GC would represent through 11th and (could) write to adcoms as a professional educator. Mom would fill in blanks re 12th grade. </p>
<p>It’s not uncommon for a kid to have two or more transcripts. In a case like yours, it’s also not uncommon to see the GC rec and maybe teacher recs from the former school, if that’s what you want- but supplemented by reports of your current year, from your current mentor(s.) You may also need to fill out a “home school applicant” supplement, if the colleges require it. Good luck.</p>
<p>I would send in two transcripts and two counselor letters but call your schools immediately and ask these questions of them to make sure you’re doing what they want. This is too important not to get it “straight from the horse’s mouth”.</p>
<p>ditto all the others, especially the part about “you haven’t screwed it up”. Call the college admissions office and ask them what they want.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
