<p>I am a female, homeschooled sophomore and I am kind of freaking out about college. I know that not having regular grades, class rank, or GPA hurts my chances but I have a really strong "core" extra curricular to kind of make up for that and my other EC includes volunteering; I've volunteered at one research center and a library (continuing to do so) and I am planning to add a lot more to the list. I'm aiming for 2200+ for the SATs (in addition to high 700s for SAT subject tests) which I will be taking next year and the same for PSATs (I took the PSATs this school year and got a 1900, but I know that it doesn't count for anything this year thankfully). I'm taking two AP classes this year in addition to Precalc (I will be starting calc soon) and biology plus other subjects. Also, I am planning to complete 11th and 12th grade in one year via dual enrollment at my local community college. I would really like to go to UPenn but I understand it's super hard so my other choices would be WUSTL, Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, University of Chicago, and UNC. SO, assuming that everything goes as planned, is there any hope that I will be accepted to any of the aforementioned universities? Please help!!!</p>
<p>Hi! I’m homeschooled too, and being homeschooled definitely doesn’t hurt your chances by itself. You can make your own transcript and calculate a GPA, and it’s even more important to do well on standardized tests. Other than that, it’s not that different from public school students. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.</p>
