Stiff admissions requirements for homeschoolers

<p>My son is currently a trumpet performance major at Indiana University. He homeschooled high school part time, also taking some classes at the local high school and some at the community college. He had no problems with his applications. One school did mention that they usually were suspicious of homeschoolers, but since he had good test scores and had taken college classes already, they were quite happy to admit him. Some colleges seemed to favor him because of his homeschooling. Others didn’t seem to care one way or the other.</p>

<p>If your daughter is planning to major in music performance, as it appears from her activities, the audition will be the determining factor at most colleges/conservatories, so I doubt the homeschooling will be a problem at all.</p>
