from Wes Beach, Gifted Homeschooler Forum's Teen Advisor...
Opportunities After "High School": Thoughts, Documents, Resources
New -- Fourth Edition for 2008!
- This 81 page book includes the following sections:
- Enrolling in a Community College
- Preparing for, Choosing, and Applying to Four-Year Colleges
- Transcripts That Show Credits, Grades, and a Grade Point Average
- Narratives
- Uncollege
The author describes his work with hundreds of students who have spent their teenage years in a wide variety of ways, all non-traditional, and have gone on successfully to college and other endeavors ranging from business ownership to professional rock climbing. Those who have gone to college have been very successful, always without having had a complete traditional high school education.
Seven transcripts are included in the book, all different, all but one (a fictitious example) used successfully by his students for college admission. The majority of the book is about writing transcripts, and the sample transcripts also show how these kids spent their teenage years.
