Summary: Our daughter got into each of the colleges on her list, with scholarship offers. The colleges are getting more homeschool friendly. Tips and my guide for how to get your homeschooled teen into college. #homeschoolhighschool #getintocollege
Are you homeschooling a high schooler who is interested in college?
Does going through the college entrance process with your teen give you pause?
It did for me.
I was so nervous! But after going through the process, I saw that I worried WAY too much. I did not have a guide to follow.
I had to collect all the details for planning high school with college in mind, and they were not laid out in one article on the web. I also did not have the money to buy expensive college books for homeschoolers.
I have been blogging about high school and college for 6 years now, plus doing research regularly on the topic as well.
We homeschool moms are too busy to have to pull all this information together ourselves.
So I gathered together ALL of my best tips and put them into a book.
Did you know that most colleges now require the Common Application, and that it has special and complicated requirements for homeschoolers? We now must write the counselor letter of recommendation.
