Dear Lee,

I am reading Homeschoolers' College Admissions Handbook by  Cafi Cohen.  I know the books is a bit dated.  Should  homeschoolers worry about portfolios anymore?  I don't really recall you talking about them.

Portfolios are also called course descriptions, comprehensive records, and other names.  A portfolio is technically more of an art major or unschooling "scrapbook" of work.  That's why I opted to call mine a comprehensive record.

Many colleges (most?) want course descriptions, and it can improve your changes of admission and scholarship.  My new book is mostly about course descriptions.

Setting the Records Straight: How to Craft Homeschool Transcripts and Course Descriptions for College Admission and Scholarships
In the Tools and Templates section of the Gold Care Club, I always have a course description of the month.  My comprehensive record contained:  a description just like that from every class.

I think the book will help you with your course descriptions.
