<p>I posted this thread earlier on this forum but as no one is replying and i am dying to know the answer i am posting it again.</p>

<p>The friend i am talking about had studied till Grade 10 in a private school, Then his father was posted to a remote location where schools were not so good, He then decided to appear as private cabdidate, as teacher recs are concerned he could get it from his Ex School. His only concern is that he will have to compete with students who had many oppurtunities in various things(MUN, School election etc.). Will he be looked down coz he is private candidate. I have heard of Home-schooled candidates being discriminated in college Admisions.</p>

<p>PS: A private candidate in A level is that one who hasn't doesn'tgoes to school but gives A level exam studying on his own. The Mark Statement he recieves is eactly identical to that by a Regular schooled student.</p>

<p>You might try posting on the home school forum. They may not know much about internationals but they do know about home schooling and may be able to help you. You just may have to explain a little more in depth your issues. I think you will be able to find a college for your friend. Some schools like kids who come from very different backgrounds.</p>
