Colleges Friendlier towards Homeschoolers
By Mimi Rothschild
The Deseret News has some good news. Colleges are becoming friendlier towards homeschoolers. In the past, college admissions departments raised an eyebrow at the applications of homeschoolers. As homeschooling grows in popularity, these institutions of higher learning have begun not only considering homeschooled applicants, but seeking them out.
And with good reason! Homeschoolers have now been shown to excel at the college level in an age where colleges are scrambling to maintain academic standards.
Under UC Riverside’s new policy, home schoolers can apply by submitting a lengthy portfolio detailing their studies and other educational experiences.
A portfolio is a great way to prove to college admissions counselors that you’ve completed a legitimate homeschool program. Students at The MorningStar Academy can receive portfolios detailing their yearly progress. These can come in very handy when hunting for colleges.
