<p>In rereading your post, I'm wondering whether I answered your question correctly. Were you asking why I am applying to private colleges and universities rather than state college and universities? Or were you asking why I was homeschooled instead of attending public school?</p>
<p>If you were asking the second question: The choice to homeschool was just a choice my family made in trying to provide me with the best education possible in our area. It's worked really well for me and I think that I am well-prepared for the future, both academically and socially. Sorry for any confusion my reply created.</p>

<p>I did actually consider USC briefly my sophomore year ... I would have LOVED to go there, the school and the city offers such wonderful opportunities. But as with NYC, this small-town girl isn't ready for LA quite yet! :-)</p>
