一些 helpful tips for homeschooled applicants:

  • 建议 是可选的, but if you choose to submit one, it should come from someone other than a parent, someone who has knowledge of your academic performance and 字符. (一些 students have received recommendations from another parent in their homeschool co-op, or a teacher from the public school where they may have taken a class.)
  • 面试 不是必需的, but they may be helpful. 联系 your counselor to learn about whether an interview is a good option for you.
  • For students in Running Start or other 双录取, these courses should be listed on the homeschool transcript, and a transcript should also be submitted from the college where credit was 授予.
  • Admission for homeschooled students 将取决于 heavily on test scores, writing ability, and academic curriculum. 一些 homeschooled students may be required to submit a GED.

If you apply by Early Action, you should receive notification of acceptance sometime in January. Students applying for regular admission will likely hear from SPU in March.
