Chance Me - Rice University

That is not weird at all. Back in the day, I worked with a number of students with similar wants/needs. Yes, to your former question… essays, experiences and recommendations need to show you are mature and socially ready. When you are writing, assume you are being compared to a couple of other young students and more than a couple of homeschooled ones. Manufacturing the maturity would be tough. You know it if you have it. Did you make a couple of college friends that you see socially or at least collaborate with academically? Do you care for a younger sibling and help him/her deal with something? Have you always developed close friends through sports? I don’t know the answer, but admissions depends on getting people comfortable. Feel free to run stuff by me when you get closer.
