<p>Pearl gave excellent information, but I’d like to clarify one thing:
Many larger schools also welcome applications from homeschoolers and assess them fairly. Homeschoolers shouldn’t limit themselves to small private schools. Granted, large state universities can be difficult when they select on the basis of raw stats, but like the small LAC’s, large private universities also tend to take more time and won’t reject you just because you don’t have a GPA or class standing. Applicants should check a school’s common data sheet, or call its admissions office if there is any doubt about their admissions process and requirements for homeschoolers.</p>
