Prestigious colleges

Has anyone ever gotten into a good college with their PF diploma? Whether as a transfer or an incoming first year? I decided to be homeschooled, and I want to get into a top 20 university as an incoming freshman or a CC/4 year transfer. I just feel like I made it a lot harder for me, so I want to see if anyone actually has gotten in for some hope lol

Help me!!

So im currently enrolled in acellus academy and they recently changed the amount of lessons you can do each week from 40 to 16. It pushed my graduation time back 4 months. Im already committed to a college that starts in September so i need to be done by then. I have like 18 credits with acellus so would i be able to transfer them? And if i start penn lets say this week, would i be able to finish by the last week of august without the program stopping me?

Should I enroll here?

Hello!

I'm looking for another online school to go to. I want to get the other half of my credits so I could still graduate this year. I was wondering If this is a good program and also is it hard to transfer credits? I'd like to hear opinions from people that actually go here than all the ads I see lol.

College with Penn Foster Diploma

Seen couple posts on here about people worrying about getting into college. My daughter graduated last October, got accepted into Middle Tennessee State University, UTC, Austin Pea, U of Memphis and etc. She never got turned down due to having a Penn Foster diploma. Good colleges do recognize Penn Foster High School. She will be attending Middle Tennessee State this fall.

I Graduated in December of 2023 and Never Received My Physical Diploma

I paid off the program in full and passed every class. While applying for jobs and waiting for a background check to come back, it dawned on me that I never received the hard copy. With the price that I paid for this program, I feel cheated not having gotten what all of us have ultimately earned or are in the process of earning. Parchment shows my digital credential but doesn’t give me the option to order my diploma. They only give me the option to order my transcript. When reaching out to their support team, they only sent me back to Penn Foster’s site which prompts you to order a duplicate. When entering my information, they send an error message that won’t allow me to move forward. This isn’t right.

Speed of tests

Will I get in trouble for the speed in which I did tests, not gonna lie I was getting done with 20 question tests in like 2 minutes, just wondering if that can stop me from graduating since I’m done with everything and paid off, also it says they’re reviewing my record.

Graduation

I’m so confused, I finished everything but it hasn’t changed or said I’ve graduated. Do I have to wait a few days or something?

HSDiploma

I completed the program back in 2023 but never finished paying. Do you think my account is in collections? Is it too late to get my diploma now if I paid now?

Monthly progress reports

Do PennFoster ALWAYS send monthly progress reports or do they sometimes not?
Or do they only do that if the student hasn’t been doing any exams in the past month or barely any in the last month do they always send them or what?
.
Sometimes when I do my work I don’t see my parent getting an email of a monthly progress report, my father only received that twice but it was only about that I haven’t submitted any exams for a whole month but that was a really long time I got in trouble twice obviously I am way past that, but do they always send monthly progress reports or is it only if I don’t do any work at all. I mean some months they don’t send it is cuz I am actually doing exams and they only send that if the student submitting any exams? I am super confused please someone answer me if possible or maybe is it that sometimes the system/ whoever person forgets to send it but I’ve only got sent that to my parent twice and only when I wasn’t submitting any exams. Can someone please answer this?.

How long should it take?

I know it’s a self-paced thing but I have heard of people needing to purchase extensions. I enrolled because I work a full-time job and a part-time job and didn’t have time for classes. I’m currently struggling a bit with motivation, but trying to get back on track because when I started in April, I finished one section of a course a day, now it’s more like one section a week. A lot of people ask about how quickly you can finish but I want to know how slowly I can finish without being punished for taking too long? What is the ideal pacing? My track is the Vet Tech AS.

How long would you say you have to be on the classes per day?

I'm about to sign up for medical billing and coding and was wondering do I treat it like actual school where I'm on for like 7 hours in a day or less? I wanna make sure this is planned out perfectly

I feel like I'm not getting educated

Whenever I do a course I read all the material and stuff then do the quiz and when I pass I forget it like 3 days later. Anyone else experiencing cram-and-forget cycle too? If so how did you guys deal with it cause I feel super dumb for this even happening in the first place like what if I need all of this for the real world?
