<p>Okay, finally here are our acceptances. DS has been homeschooled all his life. He applied to a lot of schools because money is a tremendous issue this year. We've been extraordinarily blessed:</p>

<p>Washington and Lee: Fullride and expenses
Hampden-Sydney: Allan Scholar $20k plus grant aid for the rest
Duke: Full grant aid
Clemson, NC State, Grove City, Patrick Henry, and Furman. All with a mix of merit and grant money anywhere from 1/2 cost to all.</p>

<p>And one more school to hear from on scholarships. All had no problem whatsoever with ds as a homeschooler.</p>

<p>My Daughter was homeschooled for her entire life. The only school she applied to was the United States Merchant Marine Academy and she was accepted as a Principal Candidate in the first round of Admissions. There were 4 total homeschoolers in her class. During her first month there, she tutored other members of her class in Calc, Physics and Chemistry (not homeschoolers).</p>

<p>I am proud to say that on June 16 she will Graduate along with the other 4 homeschoolers. They entered the academy as a class of 284 and will graduate 141. </p>

<p>Can homeschoolers get into and succeed in a US Military Academy? YES!!!!</p>

<p>Silverweed, I am very late to this thread, but, if you’re still around—where did your son end up going? Our older son has applied to UNC Asheville, and it looks like a good fit for him, because he’s a real individualist (and music lover!). My only worry is – is it too hippie-leftie? We homeschooled for both religious and academic reasons, and I’m very concerned about keeping my kids Catholic. :)</p>

<p>Huguenot–where did DS end up going? Older son is also applying to W&S (and Johnson Scholarship!), but we are concerned about how Greek-dominated it is. However, a full ride is a full ride, LOL! (oops, counting those chickens before they hatch…)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance to all who respond to my pesky questions. I am very new to this forum and just feeling my way.</p>
