<p>I've been teaching myself MIT OCW courses at home (I'm doing differential equations, principles of chem, Physics II E&M, and Linear Algebra at the moment), but I was wondering if I could list those on my transcript. I'm currently a sophomore, becoming a junior who does these courses for four hours a day (during the summer and weekends as well). If I could list them on my transcript, it would be really helpful for college admissions. </p>
<p>Even if I'm not able to list them, I'm still going to continue with my OCW journey. Thanks in advanced to anybody who gives advice.</p>
<p>You’d have to ask your guidance counselor. Your transcript is made by your high school, and they get to decide what can go on it. </p>
<p>If not, you might add them on the additional information section of the Common Application. Of course, this is only impressive if you are completing the problem sets, tests, and finals.</p>
<p>I wonder this too. I’ve heard it done before in a private school under the guidance of the school’s administration and a teacher, but I am not sure about public schools.</p>
<p>Also, I’m not sure about how the testing works in OCW. Is it done alone or is there an option for official testing?</p>
<p>If there is no official testing, then it won’t be considered for a transcript.</p>
<p>@I2Hope: AFAIK, there is no official testing associated with MIT OCW, but it could still make an impressive EC, especially if you do something worthwhile with the information you learn.</p>
<p>No. Unless you verify that you know the information from other means and use that on your transcript, you cannot do that.</p>
<p>I’ve been running a blog where I am doing Scott Young’s MIT challenge. I’ve been taking the finals after I finish the course, and I am planning to put my final exams on the blog so that the public can see it some time during late August. I’m planning on talking about my blog for the college app, so that could help.</p>
