Congratulations to everyone!! I got accepted at UF and NorthEastern’s honors program with a 25k/year merit scholarship

To add on to the good news (Congratulations @SouthFloridaMom9!!! ) I just got a likely letter from Notre Dame!
@Peggy1897 - you rock! Congratulations!
@SouthFloridaMom9 Thank you! Its been a really good two weeks
@Peggy1897, do you mind sharing what your homeschool style was like? Traditional, eclectic, unschooling, dual enrollment?
We’ve gone very eclectic. Some traditional supplemental classes, some FLVS, lots of delight-directed learning, literature based English study, and then the last two years of high school - dual enrollment.

congrats to all! @Baylorpoly that is an amazing scholarship package! Do you mind if I ask how? That would cover everything, right? We are a few years away from the child who is looking to go there…but I would love to know what the help was to secure that amount. We could use it!
@SouthFloridaMom9 Not at all! I don’t know what word would fit the best, but to provide a short summary:
I was fully virtual school in middle school (for competitive sports reasons), then enrolled full-time at a private for my freshman year in high school. I then became a “part-timer” and took a couple classes on FLVS and some at the private school, but I never took more than 5 or 6 classes at a time (very AP oriented) . All other outside learning revolved around programs at the local science museum my own creative writing/ research projects and the like.
I’m curious, if you don’t mind me asking, what is your sport? I homeschool my daughter and she does competitive gymnastics. She is still very young, but I’m already pretty sure that if she keeps it up, no way will she enroll in a regular school.
Sounds neat @Peggy1897 - and apparently you’ve done many things right!
@CAMidwestMom I played tennis! I can’t speak for everyone but I can’t imagine any other way of doing competitive sports + school. Homeschooling / Part-timing really allows you to excel in both and have time left over for other activities (although granted not too many )
@SouthFloridaMom9 Thank you! Homeschooling let me devote time to things I loved and I guess colleges liked that
