This interesting to me. I'm a high school senior, and when applying to colleges many admissions departments told me that since I have been home schooled my entire life I don't have a good chance of getting. One college even told me point blank that I shouldn't even attempt to apply.
I was baffled as to why. I have good grades, above average SAT scores, a solid academic foundation(I believe). On top of that I've been working at a software company for the past year, founded multiple robotics teams in my area, and I'm now working on starting my own company.
Enough with the rant. The way I see it, if the college told me they weren't interested in me since I've been home schooled they're probably not worth my time to even apply.
- tokenadult 16y agoOne college even told me point blank that I shouldn't even attempt to apply. Which one? I'll write to the college's admission office and tell them what they are missing (based on my acquaintance with dozens of homeschoolers in recent graduating classes). See http://learninfreedom.org/colleges_4_hmsc.html http://learninfreedom.org/colleges_4_hmsc.html for how much of an outlier such a college must be.
- jonah 16y agoI too am curious about these schools. My three younger siblings were homeschooled through high school and attend/ed well regarded public and private schools. I think their hack was to get a G.E.D. but I'm not sure if that was even necessary in the end.
