This homeschooling article concerns homeschoolers entering college. And although it is specifically related to the University of California, Riverside, it could show a trend in acceptance/recruiting of homeschoolers.
The article says in part:
“Not a problem at UC Riverside, the first UC campus and one of the first public research universities in the nation to recruit students who were home-schooled at the kitchen table or on the road instead of inside a classroom.
“These students are very prepared for college-level work and doing very well here,” said Merlyn Campos, interim admissions director.
More colleges and universities are reaching out to home-schooled students by altering admissions requirements to accommodate their nontraditional high school experiences.”
And continues by stating:
“Faculty members are recognizing that home-schooling’s emphasis on individualized instruction produces students who are self-motivated and focused and who don’t need to be closely supervised, he said.”
