Homeschool Supplement (Common Application)

<p>Does anyone have a link to the Homeschool Supplement for the Common Application (for this year) as I can't seem to find a current one?</p>

<p>Short answer: there isn’t one.</p>

<p>Long answer: taken from “CA4: The New Common Application for College” by Denise Boiko on Pennsylvania Homeschoolers website.</p>

<p>"One change that streamlines the process a bit for homeschoolers is the elimination of the Home School Supplement. This form, which was previously used in addition to the School Report to gather information about the homeschool course of study and educational philosophy, is no longer in use. Instead, parents serving in the role of counselors should plan to report pertinent information on the School Report. When a student marks homeschooled as his or her school, the parent/counselor will be prompted to enter information about the homeschool in the context of the School Report.</p>

<p>“Changes to the application itself involve a more streamlined, high tech approach, in the form of smart questions. The presentation of later questions will be driven by the student’s answers to earlier questions and will thus be presented only if relevant. Help features will appear on-screen as the student answers each question. Paper or snail-mailed versions of the application will be entirely discontinued, and thus the application is now 100% online. However, counselors and teachers may still opt to mail a printed form instead of completing the default electronic version. The student may prepare unlimited edits of the application (as opposed to the previous limit of ten versions); this feature will help students update information as their senior year progresses, or correct mistakes previously made.”</p>
