I'm beginning to prepare myself for the high school years
and am trying to obtain as much information as I can. I especially
want to know what is needed for college.

As an admissions professional, the best advice I can give
to you is to be as thorough as possible. There are no limitations
to you as a homeschooler when it comes to college. Some schools
may tell you that you have to take the GED, that is not true
for all. Some may say you need to go to a community (2 year)
college in order to go to a prestigeous college. Schools
around the country are beginning to take notice of the homeschooling
community. As a former homeschooler myself, I am very excited
to see this. My recommendation would be to go about you college
search based on the the criteria that
you set up as being important: size, cost, location, majors
offered, homeschooling friendly
(a good thing to check but not necessarily indicative of the
school in general), public or private, etc. After these criteria,
begin to visit those schools
that interest you. They will give you their criteria for applying
and for acceptance for admission. Most schools are beginning
to put homeschool friendly admissions criteria in place. If you
have any further questions I would love to take a stab at answering
them. Please email me by clicking on my screen name above this
post. Sincerely, Micah Crews

Hello, Lisa.
Better late than never! There are many options for college-bound
people. Many people in California attend the junior college and
transfer their credits to a 4-year college (transfer students
are guaranteed admission to the U.C. system), which is what my
daughters did. To enter directly into a 4-year college, a person
would probably need (and it would be good to find out from the
particular college) a very high SAT
score, plus all those social things colleges are so fond of --
community activities, sports,
church activities, anything which shows leadership. David and
Micki Colfax's sons used their 4-H record books as part of their
portfolios when applying to Harvard (Homeschooling for Excellence).
