Entry Requirements for Homeschooled Students at Over 30 Colleges and Universities
Introduction
Every successful social movement starts off small--from the monasteries that preserved Western culture after the fall of Rome, to the Committees of Correspondence that helped launch American independence. The home-schooling movement is no different. Over the past 30 years of general decline in educational standards at public (and many private schools), parents of every
description have moved to reclaim their rights as their children's primary educators. Dozens of carefully developed home school curricula, catering to a wide variety of worldviews, help parents provide their kids with an educational experience that outpaces what's offered in institutional settings--and one that reflects their values and beliefs.
Such students once faced obstacles when applying to conventional colleges. But in recognition of the high achievement they can expect from home-schooled students, ever more institutions --- including some of the best -- are going out of their way to welcome them, adapting their admissions requirements to reflect their particular needs and strengths. What follows is a guide compiled by ISI to help parents and students navigate the admissions process.

Standardized Testing Requirements
ACT or SAT accepted.
Requirements for Homeschoolers
For more information on requirements for homeschooled applicants, contact the Emory and Henry Office of Admissions—in particular, David Hawsey, at (800)-848-5493. Mr. Hawsey explained that since the homeschooled curriculum is usually very different from those at other schools, Emory and Henry tries to get to know each homeschooled applicant on an individual basis, through a "holistic portfolio process." The school invites homeschooled students for personal or phone interviews where the applicant and the admissions counselor can get to know each other more in a more genuine way.
Mr. Hawsey mentioned that the application process for homeschooled students is very flexible: for instance, a student who has spent time traveling to France or Germany can sit down for lunch with a French or German instructor. The bottom line is that the admissions department wants to meet the student and to find out what the student has done formally and informally, and what he or she has learned formally or informally. For this reason, specific admissions requirements can vary considerably from what the college requires of its other students.
