Common Application Preview is Online--Homeschooling Supplement Changed Slightly

<p>We used it for S’s application (he’ll be an freshman this fall), and I found it easy enough to work with. I had to make some adjustments to make all his course work fit on the back of the homeschool supplement, but I liked that there was a place to talk (briefly, there’s very little room) about choices specifically related to homeschooling. In general I didn’t feel too awfully much like we were fitting a round peg into a square hole, but there were some questions that were a little ill-suited on the main Common App form – such as one about “academic honors” which would be school-granted things, at least for most kids who aren’t state or national contest winners in math or science competitions and that sort of thing.</p>

<p>Ds just self-reported AP scores in the “academic honors” space, for lack of anything else to put there.</p>

<p>I’m not sure why they’d want to know about belonging to homeschool organizations. Interesting.</p>
