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.

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.
