<p>These days, it seems like almost all of the top colleges accept homeschoolers, but Stanford certainly seems to be more homeschool-friendly than Yale. What other top colleges are very supportive of homeschoolers?</p>
<p>I imagine Christian colleges have a higher than average percentage of students who were homeschoolers for religious purposes. One of my friends has been homeschooled her entire education and received a full-ride scholarship in music to Houghton College in NY, which is a Christian liberal arts college. </p>
<p>Community colleges and the state universities that they feed into probably have many homeschoolers, too. Many who homeschool for personal / academic reasons take dual enrollment classes at community colleges in high school. Bard College at Simon’s Rock is an early entry school, so they probably have a lot of homeschoolers, too. </p>
<p>Hey Discipulus, </p>
<p>Curious as to why you say that? Do the colleges release stats of homeschooled accepted students? Are Yale’s homeschool admits super low each year?</p>
<p>MIT is very homeschool friendly.</p>
<p>My oldest got into Penn, Princeton, Caltech, Mudd, MIT, Vandy, and WUSTL (in addition to Pitt, Baylor and UT Dallas), so I assume those are all homeschool friendly top schools. He didn’t apply to Stanford or the other Ivies, so I don’t have any anecdotal experience there.</p>
<p>@sbjdorlo: I’ve read on CC (bad source, mind you) that Yale has a low acceptance rate for homeschoolers, and I believe they require more information than most other schools about homeschool curriculums. From what I’ve heard, they expect homeschoolers to succeed in ways that traditional students cannot.</p>
<p>I read on Stanford’s website that they find homeschoolers to have unusual intellectual vitality, and the released stats for about ten years ago show that homeschoolers were accepted at double the normal rate.</p>
<p>My son has a limited budget and time for applications next year, so I find this thread extremely interesting.</p>
<p>I hope others contribute their opinions and experiences. </p>
