Those SAT II tests really drive me wild. This is the latest trap that is set for homeschoolers. Someone decided this was the way to measure homeschool but it really wasn't and hasn't been in the past. I would see if you can find another route - really ask what ELSE can be done and push for what you want.

I don't know which schools you're considering, but I still think it's worth it to go to bat for homeschool. The unschooling loop said that it's important to not say "homeschooled" but self-educated or alternative education so that you can profile what he has studied, rather than giving the impression of "school at home." That might be important for you to demonstrate too - what he's done that is non-traditional but that is depth and breadth in a way that looks like evidence that he is college material.

I am confused... it is understood that the SAT II was created to thrwart homeschoolers? I had been hearing that colleges were embracing homeschoolers and the SATs were playing less and less of a roll.. Maybe I'm reading different lists and talking to different people.

Or is this just the 'top' colleges that are doing this?

I also have understood that colleges will work with you.
