Applicant guide
Home-schooled applicants follow the same path as any first-year applicant, with one additional requirement: submit the local school district's written acknowledgement of your Home Education Notification Form (or your state's equivalent). Refer to your state's Department of Education for the specific document. Alternatively, Columbus campus applicants may submit ACT or SAT scores instead.
