<p>I'm in a umbrella school called Christian Liberty Press. They're located in Chicago, so they are going to prepare the whole "graduation" experience. They send in report cards at the end of the year, but they are only grades from tests we have to send in. I believe, however long you stay with the curriculum, at the end, they'll send you a transcript. The thing is, the grades off the transcript only lists grades from the tests we have to send in. </p>
<p>Question: Should we make our own transcript, consisting of our grades for OUR book reports, outside community college classes, standardized tests scores, and just add in they're grades to ours? Or should we just send in their transcript to colleges? </p>
<p>Sorry if it's confusing, I tried to make it simple. Thank you!</p>
<p>We never used an umbrella school because I’m too much of a control freak to leave it to someone else. I guess if you use an umbrella school, part of the point is so that they’ll take care of the hassle of transcripts.</p>
<p>But if you’ve done book reports (enough to be worth a class) and community college courses, you definitely don’t want to leave them out. If it were me, I’d probably create a comprehensive homeschool transcript and submit the CLP one as a supplemental transcript, along with the community college transcripts. You need to send in the CC ones as supplementals anyway because the colleges ask for all other transcripts. You need to send in the standardized test scores, but I guess they don’t necessarily need to be on the transcript.</p>
<p>Again, we had a similar situation only without the umbrella school. If you want to send me an email, I can send you an attachment of the transcript we used. Admissions was quite successful. Obviously, the success of admissions was due to the kid, not the transcript, but at least the transcript is in a format the schools didn’t hate.</p>
