Make sure they do SAT/ACT Prep courses in order to increase their chances of the best score possible. If students have high scores they are “seen” by colleges and even offered scholarships before completion of high school. A top score says more than homemade transcripts from a homeschooling mom.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I agree completely, test scores certainly matter. However, most Colleges today, especially Ivy League schools, take more than test scores into consideration when selecting students for scholarships. I encourage you to read Cori’s book “Homeschooling and College: How I Rocked the SATs and Got into the School of My Dreams”. It tells how she was able to attract the attention of Rollins College (as a homeschooled student) and what her family included in her transcripts that made the difference.
These are good suggestions. I don’t have a teen getting ready for college right now, but it is good for parents to see home schooling can have advantages over public schools for college admission.
