Jane in NC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Although this mother is not confident that her son is Ivy League material, several nudges have come our way suggesting that my son should investigate Penn. So, has anyone visited or interviewed at the University of Pennsylvania? How receptive are they to homeschoolers? Thanks for your comments.

Gwen in VA Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you don't get any responses here, you might try to ask on the homeschool thread at College Confidential. And asking on the UPenn thread might not hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And asking on the UPenn thread might not hurt! Neither the College Confidential Penn thread nor the Penn admissions site has any information pertaining to homeschoolers--at least I was not finding it. My problem with College Confidential, in general, is the hubris exhibited by some of the participants. It just turns me off and leads me to question the validity of much of the information. Guess I'll keep an eye over there though. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Jane, you could also post on the PAHomeschoolers board for some good responses. Lisa, whose little brother went to Penn and became a converted Nor'easterner. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all homeschoolers though. http://admissionsadvice.mywowbb.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a bit of time on this website and did indeed see that it is a calmer, gentler and, in my eyes, more useful site than CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
