[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SATs were already getting dropped from requirements at many places, so this is just accelerating a trend. They can evaluate them the same way SAT-optional colleges have already been evaluating homeschooled students for many years -- essays; transcripts that list what they have been learning in depth across the board, not just through formal classes; grades from community-college classes (demonstrating they can complete college-level work); recommendation letters; and portfolios of their work.[/quote]
For clarification, in normal times, colleges that are test optional for public schooled applicants might not be test optional for homeschoolers.  Some college have additional testing recommendations for homeschooled applicants.  (No clue what they are doing with that this year, though presumably they will be more flexible if fall test dates don't happen.)  For homeschooled applicants to top schools, the more outside verification, the better, such as test scores and dual enrollment grades.[/quote]
