I would have loved these back in September, when we were visiting schools and making decisions. But these correspondences at this late date are a little unfortunate. I do realize that there are some kids who have not made their first choice colleges, or who STILL have not applied at all and need to get on it now, but I feel like colleges that send recruitment material this late in the game are missing out.
So.. I guess if your homeschooled kid is still looking, I have a list of schools to consider. The solicitations we get are mostly from schools with strong Graphic Design and Art programs and/or strong Christian
colleges. It is clear they found him through his ACT profile. (They all also seem to be very homeschool friendly).
- Lawrence Tech in MI http://www.ltu.edu/
- Florida Christian College http://www.fcc.edu/default_f.asp
- Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta GA http://www.spsu.edu/
- Flagler College in Augustine FL http://www.flagler.edu/
- Toccoa Falls College in GA (accepted with scholarship) http://www.tfc.edu/
- Kings College NY http://tkc.edu/ (offered a pre-app scholarship)
- St Johns College (in MD and NM) http://www.sjca.edu/ (offered a pre-app scholarship) * I really like this liberal arts program
- Evangel University in MO http://www.evangel.edu/
- Mid American Christian University in OK http://www.macu.edu/
- Oklahoma City University http://www.okcu.edu/
There are a few more art college solicitations, but they came earlier, and I've lost track. I am sharing these so that other homeschoolers are aware of the colleges that sought us out.... so they can look at them while they are still in the searching process. My son applied early to SCAD Atlanta http://www.scad.edu/atlanta/ , Anderson, and Toccoa Falls and was accepted at all of them. He chose Anderson http://www.andersonuniversity.edu/, another college that is EXTREMELY homeschool friendly. You will also want to check it out.
While SCAD also claims to be homeschool friendly, they were least accepting of our mommy transcript and homeschool portfolio... but he still got a modest scholarship when I was done jumping through hoops.
oh yeah... I almost forget. Bob Jones University http://www.bju.edu has us on autodial. Probably because my kids have attended their High School Festival every year.
