<p>YEAH!!! for the class of 2014- Our children look like a great group of upcoming college freshmen. Time has gone so quickly in these 18 years! Reflecting back over so many lessons around the kitchen table leads me to shed a few tears! ;)</p>

<p>I haven’t heard yet about how many (if any) Stanford OHS students were admitted to Stanford from class of 2010. Several apply to Stanford each year. A few were admitted from class of 2009, with probably better than base odds of admission overall, but this year seems not to have had many impressive admission results from OHS to any college, which is ominous. I’m not sure how–or even if–the full news will be announced. </p>
<p>Our oldest son was largely pure-play homeschooled throughout childhood, with some distance learning and attendance in an accelerated math program at the U of Minnesota, till enrolling at Stanford OHS in its first school year (2006-2007). He was guinea pig for the roll-out of most new classes at OHS, including at least one for which the teacher was replaced after a single year. Noting that disarray, he stayed enrolled at OHS for one class per year the final two years of high school but took advantage of our state’s dual-enrollment program for most of his eleventh and twelfth grade studies. </p>
<p>Admission results: </p>
<p>IN at Minnesota, Case Western, and Worcester Polytechnic, all before the turn of the year and all with merit scholarships. </p>
<p>WAIT LIST at Carnegie Mellon from the regular decision round. </p>
<p>REJECTED (some after early action deferrals) at several high-reach colleges. </p>
<p>He has junior class standing (or is it senior class standing by now?) at Minnesota from dual-enrollment and AP credits. If he matriculates at Minnesota, he could comfortably complete a double major in three years or push it to complete the double major in two years. I’m pondering how the acceptance at Case and the wait list possibility at CMU compare to the trade-offs of doing that, especially with cost factored in. </p>
<p>Our conclusion is that for our family in this town, the better choice for people who like the flexibility of homeschooling is to be more purist about homeschooling and less tied in to a distance learning diploma program. That makes possible deeper involvement in challenging activities. That’s what we plan to do with our three younger children, each of whom has different main interests from our oldest son.</p>
<p>My son was homeschooled since fourth grade. He took quite a few dual-enrollment courses in high school.</p>

<p>EPGY OHS has already had acceptances to Stanford this year, and at a number of other top schools although I hesitate to give out exact details without clearing it first with the headmaster. OHS had 5 acceptances to Stanford last year out of a class of around 20 - IIRC.</p>

<p>I went to a college-preparatory private high school through my tenth grade year. I then decided to home school for my junior and senior years. Best decision I’ve ever made. I do not home school in the traditional sense, however! I go to a co-op on Tuesdays and Thursdays with other home school students and am given assignments online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also under a home school umbrella/cover school.</p>
<p>Accepted:
University of Alabama (tuition + smaller merit scholarships)

<p>My D was home schooled K-12, though in her junior and senior years she took a total of 11 classes at at our local public flagship university, which we counted as HS credits and listed in her HS transcript.</p>
<p>Accepted: Haverford (ED)</p>
<p>That was her first choice school, and since she was in by mid-December she withdrew (or never bothered to complete) her other applications. </p>
<p>Congrats to all the successful homeschoolers and to their proud parents!</p>

<p>Congrats DeterminedDude! My younger daughter was homeschooled since Kindergarten and is now at Exeter. She was also accepted to Hotchkiss (Maria Hotchkiss Scholar) and Lawrenceville.</p>
<p>Hi, this is my first post! I’ve just found this website–too late to take advantage of the wealth of information here.</p>
<p>My daughter was homeschooled from 6th grade on. We devised a classical/Great Books curriculum with a mix of home taught, privately tutored, and online courses. I think her stats were pretty good: </p>
<p> SAT Reasoning Test - 2240
SAT Latin Subject Test - 800
SAT French Subject Test - 800
SAT Literature Subject Test - 770
SAT Math Level 2 Test - 730
National Merit Scholar</p>
<p>She is also an internationally competitve ice dancer, training up to 5 hours/day, six days/ week. She travels extensively for competition, and speaks rudimentary Russian as well as French. (Her coach is Russian and her partner is Ukrainian.)</p>
<p>She applied to St. John’s College, Thomas Aquinas College, and Thomas More College of Liberal Arts because of their excellent Great Books programs. She applied to Columbia University, Hillsdale College, The Kings College, and The University of Chicago because of their commitment to a core curriculum organized around the study of Western Civilization. She applied to Fordham University and Trinity College because both have very good Honors/Guided Studies programs utilizing a core curriculum organized around the study of Western Civilization. She applied to Middlebury because of its language study programs. She applied to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, because she was hungry for the challenge of sharing the classroom with teachers and students who are thought to be among the best and the brightest.</p>
<p>Here’s the final tally:</p>
<p>Accepted: Columbia University, Fordham University, Hillsdale College, The Kings College, Middlebury College, St. Johns College, Thomas Aquinas College, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, Trinity College
Waitlisted: Princeton University, University of Chicago, Yale University
Rejected: Harvard </p>
<p>We are all happy with the results, and she is currently making a final decision between Columbia and Thomas Aquinas.</p>
<p>Hope some of you find this information interesting or even helpful.</p>
<p>Lady Lorna, your daughter did great. Thomas Aquinas and Columbia is an interesting contrast. Our D is also very interested in great/classic books, and a good core curriculum, although she did have other priorities for college too. I’m sure you’re familiar with Choosing the Right College. We used to live within driving distance of TA and think the area is quite nice. Great climate.</p>
