Homeschooled Applicants
Georgetown welcomes applications from homeschooled students. We will review your academic record and non-academic interests within the context of your homeschool curriculum and experience.
Academic Preparation and Records
- Please provide our office with detailed information about the academic program(s) that you have pursued through high school. These ideally will include a traditional transcript and course grades, but if this is not available, please provide us with a detailed outline of your high school curriculum.
- If you have taken any courses through traditional high schools, online programs, or colleges, please have official transcripts for these courses sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Secondary School Report and Recommendations
- It is most helpful if we are able to hear from multiple voices regarding your academic experiences throughout high school.
- In many cases, a parent may act as the school counselor for purposes of submitting the Secondary School Report and counselor letter of recommendation. In these cases, it is best if a teacher recommendation(s) can be submitted by teachers from traditional high school or college courses, or any other homeschool teachers that are not your parents.
Standardized Testing
- Homeschooled applicants are required to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of the application process.
- While not required, any additional standardized testing (such as Advanced Placement examinations) are helpful for the Admissions Committee to review in the case of homeschooled applications.
