Losing Financial Aid for Transferring w/o Graduating?

[sybbie719]

<p>Brielle,</p>

<p>Did your dad have to fill out a FAFSA? It does not matter whether or not he was willing to pay; did he provide his information to qualify you for federal aid? </p>

<p>Keep in mind that admissions and financial aid policies vary from school to school. You must also look up the admissions policies for a "homeschooled’ student. Some of them may still ask for testing requirements. </p>

<p>You do have some challenges ahead;</p>

<p>Since you don’t actually have a diploma (based on your own words)

<p>transferring to another school is going to be a challenge.</p>

<p>If you were considering remaining in state and going to the University of Illinois system, even as a "homeschooled’ student, you are going to need additional reqirements.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What are your admission requirements for home schooled applicants?</p>

<p>Home school applicants are reviewed on an individual basis, similar to all other freshman applicants. A completed application and application fee or fee waiver, official transcripts, and official test scores will need to be submitted for your application to be considered complete. Please see our freshman admission requirements for additional information.</p>

<p>When a home school teacher submits a high school transcript, what else might prove helpful for review?</p>

<p>We would like the traditional information such a course titles, grades, credits, dates of completion, and test scores. In addition, it would be extremely helpful to have a course description, textbook list, and some idea of the amount of writing or laboratory time required of the student.</p>

<p>Would you accept a letter of recommendation from the parent when the parent is the primary instructor?</p>

<p>No, we do not accept letters of recommendation. Unsolicited materials, including letters of recommendation, will be removed from the file and discarded before the application is reviewed.</p>

<p>What can home schoolers do to strengthen their high school preparation?</p>

<p>Augmenting the home school experience with some more traditional schooling experiences, such as community or local college coursework or selected courses at the local high school, can be helpful. Taking Advanced Placement exams can substantiate the strength of preparation and may also result in earning college credit.</p>

</p>

<p>I think you are going to run into this type of road block wherever yo decide to attend because as a home schooled student, most schools are going to request additional information, which you don’t have.</p>

<p>Obviously you are very bright. I think right now you would be best served getting a GED book and taking the exam *you can probably pass it on the first try). I would recommend that you do it this year because the format of the GED exam is changing next year. most places will allow you to do it as a walk in and many places give the exam once a week.</p>
