Can a homeschooler really get accepted into college?
Hundreds of colleges, universities and vocational institutes all over the country accept homeschooled applicants. Most are actively recruiting homeschoolers because of their proven track record nationally. There is no “one way” to get into college – and there are some colleges that won’t care about “credentials” and others that won’t look at your application without “proof” of high school graduation (i.e. diploma or GED). It depends on the school to which you are applying. You need to do some checking with colleges that you are interested in applying to and ask them specifically what it is they are looking for from homeschool applicants. Some schools require that you take extra SAT subject tests and may base their decisions solely on test scores and others may require a fully documented transcript. Again, it depends on the school. Colleges look favorably upon kids who have had some prior college course experience, and there are many colleges that will allow you to take college courses
