Question

If you are home school can you still go to a university?

Answer 1

Absolutely. THe Ivy League schools actually really like to have homeschoolers. (Yale, Harvard, etc) They have accepted home educated kids for years.

Answer 2

Yes, just like any other graduate; take the SAT/ACTs, and apply at the college/university of your choice.

Answer 3

Yes, definitely.  Some universities are actually courting homeschooling and paying extra scholarships for them.  You will have to make sure you take classes that are required for admission.  Just check a college admission website and they will tell you what classes they expect applicants to have.  You can build your coursework around those classes to make sure you have it covered.

Answer 4

Yes.

Keep records (for instance a transcript with grades and course descriptions).

Take college preparatory classes in your homeschool.

Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, and trig or pre-calculus, 4 years of English, 3 or 4 years of Social Studies, 4 years of science including AT LEAST one of the harder sciences like Chemistry or Physics. 2 years of foreign Language. Plus have extra curricular activities.

Take the SAT or ACT test, in addition take any SAT subject tests, AP, or CLEP exams you feel prepared for.

Aside from that, contact the university you plan to attend and find out what their requirements are in general, and any specific policies about homeschoolers
