Chance and Match a Homeschooled High School Senior [from Virginia with a 4.0 applying TO, <$20k]

@mamak2, homeschooling can be very different. Is it mom or dad provide grades or somebody else? Do you belong to some homeschooling program? Was student enrolled for some external classes? I homeschooled one child and she took Art of Problem solving classes (way above school level Math.) Child also took JHU gifted and talented classes online with grades, so we had no problem to validate rigor level. During HS child took mostly DE classes in CC, so we went for AA. I am also interested what bombed ACT means. My child had 720 in 10th grade PSAT in Math and in high 500s in English. I would not consider it bombed. Child never took SAT since by that time we focused on getting AA with good GPA to validate homeschool education.
Most colleges are very sceptical about homeschooling. Also check websites of TO schools. Often they say that they are TO for all but Homeschooled kids.
I love homeschooling. It can be great for kids who do not fit our one size fit all system. Hower, it is on you to prove that 4.0 is not fake and compatible to 4.0 from other schools.
