I’m applying to college as a homeschooler and there are a couple schools on my list that require homeschoolers to provide course descriptions/texts used/etc. Do you think schools that don’t specifically ask for this information would find it helpful? I’m conflicted as to whether to just include it along with my transcript, because on the one hand I think most admissions officers would appreciate extra information from homeschoolers to help them make their decision, but on the other hand I don’t want to give the impression that I can’t/won’t follow instructions. I’d appreciate advice on this, especially from people who have knowledge of the admissions process from the admission officer’s point of view.
If it’s relevant, I’m primarily applying to small liberal arts schools like Reed, Smith, and Amherst, but I’m also applying to Harvard, Yale, and a couple of other somewhat larger research university. Thanks in advance!
