Study says many highly talented low-income students never apply to top colleges

<p>Welcome, and stick around. I have seen all these questions and more addressed here many times.</p>

<p>Right now, as a junior, I’d begin to focus on SAT and ACT tests. You can get test prep books at the library. The tests themselves are given every couple of months, see collegeboard.org and actstudent.org for dates and locations to register.</p>

<p>I’d also have her begin to put together a resume of sorts, of academic work, extra curricular and volunteer work, interests, hobbies, that sort of thing.</p>

<p>There are lists of schools that meet 100% of need for all accepted students (need as they define it, however), just google that for lists, I feel like there are around 50 or so.</p>

<p>I think there may be some homeschool-specific forums here but the Parents forum is a good place to start, and some home school parents post there.</p>
