One of the other We-E books I chose to review (see previous blog for more We-E book information) is titled, “Transcripts, CLEP’s and Other Ways to Get Into College” written by Claire Novak. In a nut shell I’d call this, “Exploring Options For After High School 101.”
If you’ve already attended a lot of workshops or read a few books on this subject you may be disappointed but if you perhaps have a Junior High student and are starting to wonder or even worry about these things this would be for you!
Do homeschool students get accepted in college? What are colleges looking for? How do homeschool students adjust? What tests and forms do we need to complete? Should my child even go to college? What about testing for credit from home? This We-E book answers all those questions and more while consulting and quoting college admission offices and homeschool graduates now in college.
I have done a lot of reading and attending workshops on many of these issues that are pertinent to high school homeschooling families and for sure if someone came up and asked me about the options this We-E book contains what I’d tell them! This also contains links to more resources (for purchase) on various aspects of the issue which is nice for those that need a place to go further.
The fact that the author also points out your student may not even need to go to college is appreciated. Many resources on this issue seem to skip that fact maybe assuming since you already bought the book/guide on college options that not going isn’t even a possibility. I really like the quote she uses under this point from Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), “Never let your schooling get in the way of your education.” Well said!
Personally, we have been looking heavily into the CLEP testing route and I’m sure in the future I’ll be blogging more about our experiences there!
