<p>If you or your S/D have been a successful homeschool applicant for freshman admission to the University of Michigan could you post or PM me? </p>
<p>I'm gathering some information about college admissions for homeschoolers for a presentation and am looking for stories of personal experiences of going through the UMich admissions process. Specifically I'm interested to know:</p>
<p>1) Were you directed to a particular person in the admissions office who handles questions or concerns for homeschooled applicants?</p>
<p>2) Were you asked to take the GED? Once upon a time this apparently was standard for homeschoolers applying to UMich. Now the website says, "Home-schooled students must furnish our office with either a GED or proof that they have received a high school diploma or equivalent from their home school program." Further description is still rather vague about what might constitue proof of a high school diploma- and of course most freshman applicants will be seniors and will not yet have received a diploma. It also doesn't say how many SAT Subject tests are required for LS&A- although I have heard 5.</p>
<p>3) Did you present course descriptions with your application or just a standard looking transcript? If you have spoken directly with admissions personnel at any point in the application process what kind of feedback did you get about preparing your transcript and/or how it was viewed?</p>
<p>4) Did you use an school such as Clonlara to keep your academic records or did you create your own transcript?</p>
<p>If you are able to give some BTDT experience with University of Michigan freshman admissions as a homeschooler, I would be very grateful. I do intend to contact the admissions office directly but I do know that sometimes what an admissions counselor says verbally differs from what applicants have experienced. Thanks!</p>
