From what I understand the Ivy league colleges are starting to actively go after homeschooled children.

Jen, you are in college. Did your homeschooling background help or hinder you being admitted into school?

It didn't really matter to me. What helped most were my SAT scores (very high, I got an 800 in verbal). I was already taking classes at the community college, and I got an Associate's Degree there last May. This year I transferred to a four year school. They didn't give me any problems about being homeschooled, certainly, but I wasn't actively recruited by anyone.

Tell you where it's helped me - in my classes. One of my teachers told me I was the only student in the class who could write well. She was pleasantly surprised when she found out I was homeschooled, not having met any of us before...
