egreen, it is often advised that homeschooled students take a larger-than-normal number of SATIIs for just this reason: the difficulty of assessing their program.

As to who you are competing against, it probably depends on the configuration of the admissions process at the school. For example, some schools direct all applications from a given region to a specific admissions officer or officer+committee, and they decide who to pass on to the central committee. Some schools have everyone read all apps. Some probably assign an initial reader or two by some other method.
