Webinar

From Homeschool to College: What Admissions Officers Want to See

Join us to learn how colleges evaluate homeschooled students, and how to present your teen’s academics, activities, and story with confidence.

  Wednesday, October 14

 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET 

   Zoom

Wondering what colleges want to see from homeschoolers? Learn from admissions experts!

Homeschooling gives families flexibility, but college admissions brings new questions. Will colleges recognize your curriculum? Does your teen need test scores? What counts as an extracurricular? And how will admissions officers evaluate the application?

Join college counselors, Jessica Strange & Mel Williams, for an inside look at how colleges evaluate homeschooled applicants and how you can help your student highlight the experiences, strengths, and qualities that make them stand out. You’ll learn what your teen can do to demonstrate academic readiness, make the most of opportunities outside a traditional high school, and tell their story in a way that feels authentic to them.

During this event, you will learn:
