There is a big push among major colleges to identify gifted homeschoolers. The reason being is that there is evidence that homeschoolers who attend college are much more likely to graduate because they already have self motivation. Many of the colleges now have a homeschool liason in the admissions office to help with the quirky parts. If your child has good SAT and ACT scores, the colleges want them and in many instances offer full scholarships based on test scores. In no way should you consider homeschooling a detriment to college placement.

As far as early admission to college courses goes... There is a federal law that only allows children under 16 to attend college courses under the supervision of their parent or guardian. So if your child goes, so do you. Physics anyone? LOL
