taking what you consider high school level classes in junior high and then *saying* they were done in 9th grade, when, in fact, they were not. Far better, I think, to write a description of the courses and why you consider them to be high school level and say they were done prior to high school than be dishonest and say they were done later. This does not mean that the credits can't be counted--that depends on the college.

  • Inge Cannon recommends this as one way to complete a transcript on her DVD set, but I was wondering how that would play out practically. If I were a college admissions officer, I would want the credits by year. (m) - Jackie in AR 17:13 May 10 (1)

  • Exactly. I asked about this and had a homeschool consultant (a pd one ;-) tell me that many colleges prefer to see the standard transcripts showing which were courses student completed in each grade. nt - Anna 16:38 May 10 (3)
