Why doesn’t she take online college classes? I agree putting a 13-yr old into classes with normal collage-aged students, especially one that has never attended formal classes may be a problem, for her , as she has been homeschooled? I am not saying she should not be admitted, but there is some concern for her, on my part.

You know, what's interesting about your comment is that one of the criticisms against homeschooling is that the kids are too sheltered, they don't have enough real life experience, they don't have classroom experience, etc.

And yet you're advocating that they shelter her even more?

When, exactly, would she then get that experience. Sometimes you just have to go and do something to learn how to do it and community colleges are great places for that.
