Please submit a homeschool transcript as organized by a parent, teacher, or educational agency. This record should include coursework information and/or an explanation of curricular approach. We are interested in understanding the philosophic reasons for homeschooling and approaches to obtaining your education. This document can include a description of what was studied, coupled with an annotated reading list (for less-structured curricular approaches).

All homeschooled applicants are required to have an admission interview. Online interviews are available now! Please continue to check cmc.edu/admission/visit and join our mailing list to receive the most updated information.

In lieu of an interview, you may submit an optional video response. We will send you and email regarding this opportunity soon after we have received your application. Please refer to our website for further details.

We ask that homeschooled students submit three letters of recommendation.

1. One Counselor Recommendation Letter: preferably from an educational supervisor, but it can be written by a parent.

2. One Teacher Recommendation Letter: preferably from a teacher or instructor who taught you in an academic subject.

3. Extracurricular Letter: preferably written by a non-family member who knows you in a social or extracurricular context (examples are peers, clergy members, employers, coaches, etc).

The goal of the Admission Committee is to find the right match for Claremont McKenna College and to admit students who will be successful members of our community. If you would like to submit an extra statement explaining anything that you feel we have not asked, or if you would like to submit supplemental documentation with your application, it is welcome.

If you have any questions regarding your application, feel free to contact our office at (909) 621-8088 or at admission@cmc.edu. We look forward to working with you throughout this process.
