Applicants who were homeschooled must complete a high school education in a homeschool setting approved under their state law (or—if state law does not require a homeschooled student to obtain a completion credential—completing a high school education in a homeschool setting that qualifies as an exemption from compulsory attendance requirements under state law). We encourage applicants who were homeschooled to be explicit about their homeschool setting in their application. Interviews are highly recommended for all applicants and can be particularly helpful for applicants in a homeschool setting to learn more about their academic experience.
