Chances of good colleges for homeschoolers?

Question

I used to go a regular high school and then decided to graduate early since I was moving to NC and didnt want to change schools. What are the chances of me getting into a good college like UNC or Cornell?

Answer 1

That will depend on many factors. Do you have the skills that you need to get into one of these colleges? It doesn't sound as if you were ever home schooled. The college will want your regular high school records. If they see you as a "drop out" it may be difficult to enroll.

Have you taken SAT's? If you have and your scores are high it will be a big plus. If not --- take some practice tests and then attempt the SAT.

One of the best things to do is contact the admissions office of UNC or Cornell and ask them what you will need to do in order to begin classes.

Answer 2

Here's the thing, I have heard that homeschoolers supposedly get higher grades than public schoolers. Don't thing that colleges only base their selection on the ACT or SAT. I believe it's about half and half. Half act or sat and half highschool grades. So, hopefully you've worked hard. I believe that your chances are pretty good!

Answer 3

Pretty good. I was homeschooled my entire life and ended up getting such high grades on my SAT that I got a scholarship from it!

Answer 4

colleges only accept students based on test scores,like SAT,so if you do REALLY well,they should let you in.many home schools have been accepted into good colleges,the reason is because they happen to be smart,go figure!good luck at college!

Answer 5

Homeschoolers can only go for GED's so all 4-year Universities are immediately out. Unless you want to toil in Community or Junior Colleges for 2+ years to catch up.
