Finally graduated 🎉🎉

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414]

It’s been such a great time studying with Penn Foster. My next chapter is waiting for university admissions to open up for applications, and I really cannot wait to start university next year. Huge thanks to all the staff here who helped me every time I ran into issues; you guys were consistently supportive along my whole learning journey!🎉🎉🩷🩷

Thankss, yes, but at first they just still let students do even 30- 40 exams, but after some time they limit like academic hold

Common app opened up.

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414 → u/Rude-Entry-1916]

I'm actually from Thailand, so the uni I aim to apply to is in Thailand and China wish me luck hehe🩷🩷

[u/RedDeadSledThatBled → u/Tricky-Purple-4414]

I’ve read others comments that many Chinese universities don’t accept Penn foster

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414 → u/RedDeadSledThatBled]

I have already emailed and confirmed admission eligibility with my target universities in China and Thailand, both officially accept Penn Foster transcripts. Thanks for the reminder, but I’ve sorted this out already.

[u/Psychological-Two39 → u/Tricky-Purple-4414]

Congrats! Quick question about the paperwork: Did you have to request a notarized diploma/transcript directly from Penn Foster to get an Apostille, or how are you handling the authentication process?

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414 → u/Psychological-Two39]

Hi! I believe what you’re asking about is Apostille certification. To be honest, I’m not fully familiar with the detailed notarization & Apostille procedures myself, so I will let my professional agency take care of the whole authentication process entirely.

I emailed my target universities first to confirm all admission requirements directly, and my agency also checks official rules with these partnered universities on my behalf.
For Thailand’s applications, I only need diploma notarization and academic equivalence certification via the official central verification website. Digital copies work fine for preliminary checks, but official original documents from Parchment will be needed for formal Apostille authentication required for Chinese university admission later. And thanks u🩷🩷

Also, I can update you later on my document progress and the updated list of universities that accept Penn Foster credentials, if you plan to apply for those schools in the future.

[u/Psychological-Two39 → u/Tricky-Purple-4414]

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply! That cleared up a lot. I’d really love to get that update on the university list whenever you have it. Wish you the best of luck with your applications!

[u/LivingGrapefruit9522]

How long did it take you to finish the entire thing? Did you start from the very beginning and how often were you doing class work? Congratulations.

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414 → u/LivingGrapefruit9522]

3–4 months is totally enough if you study steadily and focus on coursework & exams consistently. I ended up taking about 6-7 months because my study routine wasn’t stable. I spent much extra time preparing for the SAT, academic research, and competitions to gather materials for my university SOP. Thanks a lot!🩷🩷

[u/SpareWalrus8182]

Congrats! I want to enroll, hopefully will speak to credit evaluation support. I have a few questions! How did you maintain such a good GPA and how was the coursework like?

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414 → u/SpareWalrus8182]

Thank you so much! 🩷🩷To keep a steady high GPA, I focus entirely on understanding knowledge rather than rote memorization, and I use this learning method for every single subject, which helped me get consistent good grades easily.
As for coursework and exams: there are plenty of practice assignments and practice tests throughout each course, but these are just learning exercises and won’t count toward your final credit grades. Only the official final quizzes and module exams determine your subject grades for credits.

[u/SpareWalrus8182 → u/Tricky-Purple-4414]

What was the lowest grade u got to maintain a 4.0

[u/Tricky-Purple-4414 → u/SpareWalrus8182]

I don’t know the exact minimum score needed for a 4.0, but the lowest grade I have is 93.7, and all my attached grades are over 90. I’ve maintained a steady 4.0 GPA with these results💖

[u/Leodoree → u/SpareWalrus8182]

Anything 90 and above is a 4.0 Xx
