I have questions.

How do universities handle home schooled applicants? Does anyone have stats handy for how many HS teens are admitted and graduate? I’m mostly interested in how they adapt to college life, how they relate to their classmates who haven’t been hand picked by their mothers, and what in their experience would make me, as an employer, want to hire them. Former coworkers of mine who were home schooled required a great deal of hand-holding and reaffirmation of their Very Specialness to maintain the coddling levels they’d been accustomed to and demanded — without much to balance it out. I sincerely hope I just had a bad lot, considering the growing HS population, but it sure makes me cringe to imagine a future filled with self-important whiners upset that things’ve stopped revolving around them when they suddenly have to fend for themselves.
