So I’m starting my application process but I’m homeschooled and there’s so many things I don’t know what to say or put, so I was hoping for advice from any homeschooled kids or parents and to ask some questions etc, especially if you’ve already gone through the process 
Have you read through the CC home-school section? Find it here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/home-schooling-college/
Please post your question in the Homeschool forum on this site. That will get you more replies. Also, please give us more info to work with. List home state, desired major in college if you know, high school gpa and Test Scores ACT/SAT. Are you looking to stay close to home, or list how far you are willing to travel for college? Do you like a large student population, or a smaller size school?
Some colleges are more homeschool friendly than others. Some can make your application process simple, others will grill you and require lots of extra supplements.
Tell us what year you are graduating from high school, and what kind of education did you have? Did you do all your work at home, did you take dual enrollment college classes, or participate in a homeschool study center?
The more info you can post, the more detailed answers you can get. Don’t give out personal information, but a summary of your background, your interests, and any ideas you do have on what you want your next step to be will help other posters give you good feedback.
Whoops I didn’t even see that there was a homeschool area, new to this site sorry! Thanks!
Home state is Florida, but moving to California. I’m wanting a bachelors in electrical engineering. 4.0 gpa, 2100 SAT, and 34 ACT. I don’t care about staying close to home, or moving far away particularly. Several colleges I’ve looked up have been out of country and some are as close as only a couple hours away. I like larger school population, but don’t really care. I’m graduating in Spring 2016, so I’m a rising senior right now
I was purely homeschooled until I was about 10 or 11 when I took virtual school classes, started taking dual enrollment classes at 14, and now take only dual enrollment classes, most of them honors. I’m really hoping for schools like Harvard, Stanford, USC, MIT etc.
Is your entire family moving to California? You should check on Residency Requirements for California for purpose of instate tuition for public schools in that state. You’ll need to look for automatic merit scholarships (based on gpa and test scores) for a school that you would actually want to attend. That is the definition of a safety school, one you are guaranteed to be accepted at and can afford to attend (and that you like.)
Our family avoided the whole “elite” school tier, so I am useless with any help in that area. There are plenty of posts already on this forum that you can read and learn from. The elite schools, no matter what your gpa/test scores, etc., are all a lottery chance. In other words, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than gaining admittance to one of the top elite schools. There are thousands and thousands of applicants with your exact same stats and honors, and the admissions counselors have to randomly pick students to fill the few open spots they have.
It is possible to be shut out of all your elite schools, so you must have a viable safety school picked out.
If you have a “hook” then you might have a better chance. That means if you are an under represented minority, if you are a highly recruitable athletic, if you have a relative who attended the school, etc. than you might bump up the list a bit.
You will need to familiarize yourself with the terms EA and ED. Early Action and Early Decision. Again, I don’t know a lot about the details and rules that govern the use of these options, but you can search on this forum and read up about them. And I don’ t know if the elite schools even use these options.
Gathering information is the best use of your time right now. Comparing yourself to all the top students here on CC is NOT a good use of your time. So be careful, CC can be a double-edged sword. You seem to be positioned well with your education and test scores.
Does your family have the money to hire an independent college counselor? Someone to help guide you to the elites that would be most interested in you, and then maybe helping edit your essays. There are a lot of experienced parents on this site, and you might can find all the help you need right here.
2100 is the low range for ivy league. Study and retake them with a goal of 2200+. My D was accepted to Amherst and Middlebury with 2290 SAT and rejected from the Ivys. There is much more to an app than SAT score and apps with 2400 get rejected as well. Yet 2200+ will likely get you a better look.
My D was a better match for a small LAC since she specifically tailored her Common App with that in mind and had no idea what field of study she wished to major in (very broad interests).
I am retaking the SAT in October, but for whatever reason I’m just not a good SAT-er even though I do just fine on everything else lol. But yeah I’m hoping for at least a 2200. For me I’m aiming so high because I know it could be an absolute life changer for me and my future, but I definitely have several fall back schools that I’m fairly certain I could get into. Thanks for your advice!
