Home school graduates which colleges are you attending or have attended?

Question

I have heard that some colleges are actively recruiting home schooled kids and I'm just curious if you know who's recruiting or your experience getting into college

Answer 1

Homeschoolers are being actively sought out by ivy
league colleges and universities. I know homeschool
graduates who have attended dozens and dozens of
Community Colleges and private and state universities
and done very well.

Our experience was checking a checkbox "homeschool
graduate." Yes, you graduate from homeschool! Each
college will have their own set of requirements.

Answer 2

I homeschooled 2 daughters. My youngest enrolled first in a community college in Virginia, she did well, was on the President's List and received the Pell Grant. She then transferred to Florida, and was forced to take the GED, even though she was a college transfer on the Honor Roll. (Go figure !!!)
She is now pre-med at a university and receiving a grant as well.

Depending on your state and depending on the college you are applying at (as well as you choice of major) you will be accepted (they can't discriminate) if you have the grades/SAT scores like all other students. Some colleges give you a probationary semester, most don't, and some universities actually search for homeschoolers, because they are more mature, mor serious about learning, more open minded and inquisitive as well as self-disciplined. You can see a listing of colleges and universities that are "homeschool friendly" on the HSLDA website.

Answer 3

I attended Harding University. They work very well with homeschool graduates. Fortunately, many of the nation's colleges and universities are realizing what an asset homeschoolers are.
If you want to go to a state school, just look up their website and request an application. If you are interested in a private/Christian school, check with your minister, he may have some suggestions, as well as ideas of where to look.

Answer 4

I was homeschooled all my life and I graduated from high school with a 4.0. I took the ACT exam at the end of grade nine and made a 30. Schools immediately started sending information and scholarship packets. I went to Boston.

Answer 5

Most colleges like home schooled students. I went to two private Christian universities and received a lot of scholarships for my GPA etc. Just start getting online and requesting information from any college that interests you. Most of them love to send brochures etc.
