<p>AmbiguouslyClear, there are as many ways to homeschool as there are homeschoolers. If you lived at home and taught yourself, you are homeschooled. </p>
<p>I get the impression you need to have more respect for yourself and how you schooled yourself, then expect others to respect you for it too. People in the admissions offices at colleges certainly can help you and should. It’s their job. If you approach them for the legitimate information you need to apply, they should give it to you. </p>
<p>Compiling your homeschool transcript is usually a necessary part of homeschooling. It’s a job, but there are legitimate ways to do it even if you didn’t keep good records. If you learned things, you can find a way to package that information into a respectable transcript. It looks like hsmomsef has a good suggestion. There are a few books out too, with excellent suggestions. I recommend [this</a> book](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0028637380/sr=8-1/qid=1153114579/ref=sr_1_1/102-1639266-8021735?ie=UTF8]this”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0028637380/sr=8-1/qid=1153114579/ref=sr_1_1/102-1639266-8021735?ie=UTF8) if you need advice about how to dredge up the information required.</p>
<p>If walking in and taking the GED will get you where you need to be right now, then do it. Either way, you may very well need a homeschool transcript somewhere along the way, so it’s a good thing to do it now. It will only become more difficult if you wait.</p>
