<p>HSBruins, congrats on your ds’s great score! :)</p>
<p>We also homeschool and my dd was accepted everywhere she applied, including top 20 LACs. One thing she did was to research possible schools early, and plan her SATs accordingly. She ended up taking 5 SAT subject tests, starting last January and finishing in October. She looked at the dates the SAT subs were offered, and other scheduled events and planned her “year of testing” 
We both recognized the need to “prove her mommy grades” by her performing well on the SATs as well as my doing a very detailed course description (though not nearly as long as YorkieMom’s I think we both had the same goal - to answer any questions about our curriculum before it gets asked ;))</p>
<p>I would agree with others that your s can do very well with merit aid at a 4 year school.</p>
<p>Oh and my d’s NM materials came directly to our house in late August or early September. :)</p>
