<p>Does anyone know what Brown thinks of homeschooled applicants?</p>
<p>As a homeschooler, Brown seems like the perfect match for me; they stress independence and self-motivated learning which, in my opinion, is the epitome of good homeschooling. For the past two years, I have been in control of my own education: choosing classes, creating schedules, and even grading some homework has been my responsibility. </p>
<p>However, when I visited Brown, I noticed that the incoming class profile (private, public, parochial) did not mention any homeschoolers, and Brown’s requirements for homeschoolers (<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply-brown/frequently-asked-questions#home”>http://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply-brown/frequently-asked-questions#home</a>) seem a bit more stringent than, say, those of Stanford or MIT.</p>
<p>No first-hand knowledge, but I would also think that Brown would be a perfect place for the qualified homeschooled applicant. For Brown, or any other school, I think the number of applicants and acceptances are low from a pure numbers perspective. Take a look at [url=<a href="http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton’s[/url">http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton’s[/url</a>] statistics for the Class of 2017. If my math is correct, 6 homeschooled students enrolled of approx 130 who applied.</p>
<p>From a 10 year-old blog, which I can’t link due to CC’s TOS:
with an acceptance rate in line with the overall total.</p>
<p>The challenge for you applying to Brown, or any other school, is making your application stand out. Focus on things that you have done that you would not have been able to do in a traditional environment.</p>
<p>To help AO’s evaluate your curriculum, I would suggest you send in add’l SAT Subject Tests over the minimum required.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
