Finally, statistics show that homeschooled students have greater college acceptance rates than their traditionally schooled peers. A report presented

that college admission officers now seek out homeschoolers due to their excellent preparation for academic success at college (Gathercole).

Homeschooled children have been found to routinely outperform traditional students by 80% on standardized achievement tests such as the SAT

(Nikiforuk).  A study at Wheaton College in Illinois showed that the freshmen that were homeschooled for high school scored fifty-eight points higher

on their SAT scores than those of kids that were schooled traditionally. Many Ivy League colleges, such as Harvard and Stanford, look especially for

homeschooled students (Gathercole). An article in Stanford magazine indicates that Stanford has a special interest in homeschoolers and is eager to

embrace them. As can be seen, many colleges accept and even prefer homeschoolers.
