Colleges That Allow Self Reporting
Colleges That Allow Self Reporting
Self-reporting is a way for you to tell colleges about things like your grades and test scores in your own words. It can be helpful if you’re not able to send official transcripts or because you don’t want the college to see your low grades or low test scores (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?). Sometimes called “alternative reporting” or “non-traditional reporting,” self-reporting works best when it is integrated into an application rather than treated as an afterthought at the end of the process.

Self-reporting allows you to tell colleges about things like your grades and test scores in your own words.
When you self-report, you can tell the college about your grades and test scores in your own words. You might want to do that if you’re applying as a freshman or transfer student.
- Tell them what classes you took, how well you did in those classes and how they were relevant to your major.
- Tell them how long it took for each term’s coursework to be completed and whether any of them were taken as summer school courses, online or through another program such as AP/IB/CLEP etc., which could shorten the time needed for completion significantly (i.e., if an advanced placement course is taken during junior year instead of after graduation). If a student completes all his or her required courses by taking extra ones during high school years then he or she may not need some upper level courses at all! That’s why knowing what schools require isn’t enough; it’s also important to know how many credits they’ll accept from each type of class (AP vs IB vs CLEP).
The best thing to do when deciding whether or not to self-report is to go over your transcripts with a fine-toothed comb. If there are any discrepancies between what you think your grades should be and what they actually are, then it might be worth the time and effort required for you to communicate that information directly with the colleges where you applied.
