[</em>] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:[/ul] Accepted: Saint Louis University, University of Vermont, University of New Hampshire, Ohio State, UConn, James Madison, Purdue, University of Alabama</p>

<p>You should wait and find out, that will be the best answer. I don’t know why you would like anonymous persons from the internet to tell you wether they think you’ll get in or not, and most every chance me post is followed by the response ‘yeah i’ll think you’ll get in’. </p>

<p>Although it may be tempting to soothe your anxieties by having someone tell you what you would like to hear, I say, wait. The college admissions process can sometimes be seemingly random and involves many factors. Some ‘shoe ins’ are rejected and some who you would think would be rejected are accepted. </p>

<p>You’ll just have to wait it out, good things come to those who wait. Good luck.</p>

<p>I am not as familiar with ACT scores, but I can tell you my son was homeschooled and had no problems getting into Maryland. They were very homeschool friendly in that they already had policies in place regarding homeschool applicants. For example, they had a special admissions counselor that reviewed the homeschoolers. I am not sure exactly what your online courses were. Did anyone else evaluate you? That could be helpful, but I think your ACT scores seem pretty solid-I just don’t know how they compare to the SAT. Also, Maryland only looks at the math and critical reading for the students who submit the SAT. Good Luck to you!</p>
