How to Get into Harvard College?

[gibby]

<p>FWIW, with regards to homeschooling: <a href=“Q. and A.: College Admissions - The New York Times”>http://questions.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/17/qa-college-admissions/&lt;/a&gt;

We see only a few homeschooled applicants, and we do occasionally admit a homeschooled student. Evaluation is usually difficult, however. It helps if the applicant has taken some college level courses, and we can get evaluations from those teachers. We are not keen on homeschooled students where the only evaluations come from parents and the only other information available consists of test scores

I do have skepticism about some versions of home schooling. We will seek concrete evidence of preparation which may, for better or worse, fall both to a wider range of standardized testing but also to evidence of collaborative work with other students both academically and socially. The home schooled student does carry an additional burden of proof.
