As of right now, four universities have accepted our son. The fifth university has not made a decision about him yet because they have not received all the documentation.
Our son earned himself a truck by getting a really high SAT score.
Did you know that some homeschoolers should not fill out the Common App Homeschool Supplement? Don’t believe everything you hear on national homeschool podcasts… This very famous homeschool podcast insisted on the Homeschool Supplement inside the Common App. Well, it does not apply to everybody.
We have always homeschooled under an umbrella in the State of Tennessee. Our umbrella, Gateway Christian Schools, is a fully accredited member of the National Private Schools Accreditation Group and maintains membership in the Association of Christian Schools International. The Tennessee Department of Education recognizes Gateway as a category IV, church-related school operating under TCA 49-50-801(a&b).
As such, Gateway students are not “homeschool” at all. They are Gateway students. We should not fill out the Common App Homeschool Supplement.
However, I still have to provide a Counselor Recommendation letter. Thankfully, universities all over the nation know of such legalities and how to handle the application files of homeschoolers.
