5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Resource for Homeschoolers, September 7, 2000
By Terrie Bittner (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homeschooling High School: Planning Ahead for College Admission (Paperback)
I jut reviewed a copy of this book for my column and was thrilled with it. It is designed for Christian homeschoolers, but you need not be a Christian to benefit from the wisdom found in this book. It is another of the rare books that approaches homeschooling honestly. The author has interviewed large numbers of admissions people at colleges, and their findings are given to you without doctoring. You can't fight the misconceptions or concerns of colleges unless you know what they are.

Not only does this book offer reading lists, suggested topics to cover in courses, and lists of materials for science, but the author offers a collection of forms that is invaluable. I simply printed out the forms in her book for easy organization of the work my children are doing this year. She has time sheets, reading logs, and most importantly, a transcript. I've always wondered what a professional transcript was supposed to look like. There are many other forms as well.

This book leaves nothing to chance. I feel certain that any homeschooler using this book will have no difficulty getting a child into college.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Manual For Homeschooling High School, September 28, 2000
By Rachelle Bigger (Corvallis, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homeschooling High School: Planning Ahead for College Admission (Paperback)
Jeanne Gowen Dennis has written a complete manual for both the parent considering homeschooling high school and parents in the midst of home educating their teenagers. Dennis did her research surveying hundreds of college admissions staff. She doesn't hesitate to share the negative as well as the overwhelmingly positive feedback she received. Helpful to the parent unfamiliar with the world of transcripts, curriculum, and college admissions, will be the helpful lists, as well as sample forms. Both practical and inspiring, Homeschooling High School is a book sure to pulled off the shelf repeatededly by homeschooling families. As a homeschool graduate and former Admissions Counselor, I would make it a must-read for any family endeavoring to home educate their children at any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars A versatile reference for homeschoolers, February 9, 2001
By Geoffrey Gould (Vestal, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homeschooling High School: Planning Ahead for College Admission (Paperback)
I was asked to review Jeanne Dennis's book by the publisher because of my interest in helping home schoolers. I've seen the range of questions and concerns home schoolers have shared with each other through email lists and web sites. I feel the book provides many practical ways to systematically prepare for admission to college. As a veteran college admissions officer, I'm glad this book is available for the rapidly growing number of home schoolers forging their paths to college with great independence.
