We recently moved to Tennessee from Virginia. The hs moms here in Tennessee are convinced that a non-certified homeschool diploma/transcript is NOT sufficient for college admission (I'm only referring to diplomas/transcripts, not the extras like ACT scores, etc). They believe colleges will require more work from families to prove the quality of their high school education. These families are dependent on the Umbrella School with which they register for a certified diploma/transcript that colleges will easily accept. I find that hard to believe.
Can you share your experience? Was a family printed diploma and transcript sufficient for college? Did you have extra hoops to jump through? I need to be set straight on this.
Thanks!

PS I realize colleges will vary across the country. It's the general idea that colleges make homeschoolers with non certified diplomas work harder than others to get accepted that I'm questioning.
My dd was homeschooled up until her Junior year of high school. Then, she attended our local, community college. We were also under an umbrella school, too. Sorry I could not be more help in this regard. I do not know too many people in TN that have solely printed off their own transcripts and diploma. Most of the people that I know have an umbrella school or are attached to the local superintendent.
