Does anyone know if it's really hard...

<p>alot is going to depend on what type of college you are interested in attending.</p>

<p>If you go to a community college after graduating from high school, you will need to apply to colleges as a transfer student. Financial aid is less generous for transfer students and selective colleges have much fewer spaces.</p>

<p>If you attend community colleges as a high school student via dual enrollment, you can still apply as a first year freshman. </p>

<p>What types of colleges are you interested in applying to?</p>

<p>^^^What types? Liberal arts colleges, like swarthmore...</p>

<p>hsmomstef also made a good point - call colleges that you are interested in and talk to their admissions people. Don't rely on published materials because some places don't have anything that discuss homeschoolers, some have vague stuff, and some have outdated stuff. When my daughter first looked at UMich she thought it would be near impossible for a homeschooler to get in, but she called and talked to them. She gave them an idea of what she was doing at home and why she was interested in UMich. They helped her - gave her advice on how to present herself, what to submit, advised her to take ACT's in addition to SAT's. As a result, she passed the initial academic screening and was invited to audition there as a performance major. We're just waiting on the results now.</p>

<p>Also, she has already been accepted at the University of Washington as a homeschooler. You just need to translate what you're doing into what they accept and the college admissions people can help with that. Good Luck!!</p>
