<p>I've been looking through websites of my dream schools about informations for homeschoolers, by far only stanford and princeton had made a special section for homeschool students (I might be missing?), if possible, does anyone knows whether they have special requirements for homeschool students from the schools below? (such as numbers of SAT 2s) Thanks :)</p>

<p>The UC system is a bit tricky for homeschoolers. My son got accepted, even though, technically speaking, he had none of the A-H requirements. Check out Entrance by Exam.</p>
<p>Unless they state they have different requirements for homeschoolers you can probably assume they’re pretty much the same and that they’ll take whatever you can send them – test scores, grades from outside classes, other kinds of assessments, etc. If you’re in doubt, just call them and ask. Colleges are pretty used to getting applications from homeschoolers at this point, if there’s anything special they want, they’ll let you know.</p>
<p>I’ve only got part way down your list but I suggest you check the websites again since I’ve found special sections for homeschoolers or a mention in the FAQ on eight of their websites so far. </p>
<p>UMich: "Home-schooled students and students attending unaccredited high schools should contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions prior to September of their senior year to determine if additional credentials such as SAT Subject Tests should be submitted. The phone number for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is 734.764.7433</p>
<p>We called UMich in October of the senior year and that was a bad time to find out about the extra Subject Test requirements, mostly because D’s weekends are so busy. </p>
<p>It’s important to remember that if you are applying with the Common Ap, using the home school supplement doesn’t mean you are done. There could be more hoops to jump through. Save all your text books and be ready to photocopy Tables of Contents. I have spent a small fortune on photo copies! My daughter has been accepted academically to a number of small to medium schools already with some very generous scholarships, but not yet to any of the Big Boys that had the extra home-school requirements for course descriptions, Sat Subject Tests, etc. Those I don’t think she will find out about until April 1.</p>
