I concur with the other posted advice. In two weeks my son will graduate (Lord willing) with a B.S. in Chemistry. I made his transcript myself. I didn't exactly unschool the whole time, but I did create his transcript. He did take a couple of classes at a community college (precalculus, trigonometry) before enrolling in a university. This community college had experience with other homeschoolers and was open to more enrolling in their courses. He did not take a full course load, because he was still in "high school" at the time. Just list what they have done as if they were in a conventional class and your assessment of the learning.(grade) Some schools like to see tests scores such as the ACT. My son took that. And I listed all his extra curricular activities/communtiy service type activities so they could see he interacted with others and was "well-rounded". It shouldn't be a problem at all. Homeschooling is much more common now. Schools are used to seeing it and some are excited to have a home school applicant. Be anxious for nothing,to quote a noted person! A good reminder for myself, as well. Peace, ck
