Just wondering.

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Lots. Even Harvard actively recruits homeschoolers. So don't single homeschoolers out, do you mind?

What proportion of public schooled students go on to college?

What proportion of private schooled students go on to college?

Answer 2

I had a little pamphlet with lots of statistics in it, but I can't find it :(.
I do know it was a relatively large number, especially compared to that of public schooled kids.

Answer 3

My daughter is applying to colleges right now and has already been accepted to 2 of them. Almost all of the homeschoolers I know are applying to college, going to college, or intend to go to college. Last year these colleges included Harvard, Cal Tech, Rice, Notre Dame, Yale, and USNA, just to name a few.

I do not know the national percentages.

Answer 4

No one really knows because no one knows how many children are home schooled. In quite a few states the parents don't have to contact the school district.

That being said, there is an estimated 50-60% that go on to college. Keep in mind, this is only an estimate, though.

Answer 5

There are more home schooled students who go to college than Public School Students.
