You might be walking a fine line with the amount of college courses taken. Depending on the school, your twins could be judged as transfer students. Other than that, online courses and a few college ones are a fantastic way to help show your twins capabilities. Don’t downplay them. More importantly however, your twins are going to need to demonstrate that they did more than just study/take courses. What did they take from homeschooling…have they independently studied, learned things on their own? Something that would stamp them as self motivated? Are they involved in the community? What sort of EC’s do they have? As a parent you’ll need to explain why you chose to homeschool and what your mission statement was.

You’ll be suprised at how welcoming some of the elite schools are to homeschoolers, and shocked at some schools that say they welcome homeschoolers but will ask for things the student can’t give.(One school refused to accept our state accredited evaluator for the guidance report…a math professor at a well ranked LAC who’s evaluated our two sons since the 6th grade. They also asked for the transcript to be redone twice. Very frustrating when Harvard, Brown and Chicago have no problems but your safety is rewriting the rules)
