<p>Not true jPoD. Lots of schools take home-schooled kids. It's just that the requirements are somewhat different. If you look in the FAQs of most schools, you'll frequently see an FAQ relating to home-schooling. Sometimes, the schools even devote a web page too it.</p>
<p>Anyway, yellowmonkey (damn, not a good screen name, really), I origionally thought you were an overseas student. Now, after re-reading your post, I'm guessing you're not. Although it wouldn't change my estimates for Harvard, Stanford, Yale, or MIT much - based on your SATs, you'd be about an average or a bit above average applicant at all four schools, in short, solid but nothing special - it does change my estimates for Cornell and Berkeley: 50% chance at both.</p>
<p>I suggest that you add some other good, but somewhat less selective schools to your list.</p>
