My 2 S (twins) were homeschooled then from 9-12 (rising seniors now), “attended” an online cyber charter school. Tops of their “class”, they’ve never met 99% of them, except online,where they chatter and pass notes, etc. like all other kids. They have had dual enrollment at local university (not CC) for a year (4 As in the usual freshman classes), and next year, will take 10 credits at that college + 6 more at another local U. Do you think their unusual high school will count for or against? The school doesn’t give an exact rank, but they are in the top 5% of 800 online students. Should they really play up their unique-ish experience, or downplay? I have no idea and probably couldn’t find out if anyone has been accepted by Ivies in the past.
