AI Thread Summary
To enhance university admission prospects after being homeschooled and out of high school, it's crucial to demonstrate ongoing academic engagement. Tutoring in subjects like higher mathematics and physics can showcase commitment to learning. It's important to clarify educational achievements, such as having credits for Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus, which would enable tutoring in foundational math subjects. Additionally, enrolling in a community college can provide a pathway to continue education, maintain academic skills, and facilitate a smoother transition to a university, as community colleges typically have fewer admission barriers.

Hi, I need some advice. I have to start collage later then I'd like to but I still want to get into a good university. I was home schooled and I studied hard, the SATs are not a problem but I'm out of high school and I could use some ideas on how to show I'm still trying, even if I can't start collage just yet. I thought maybe tutoring higher math and physics might help but I need more ideas...have any?

oh! and I'm only 19.
 
If you are out of high school, then are you finished or graduated? What do you mean by "higher mathematics"?

If you at least studied and were issued credit for Algebra 2 and Trigonometry or "Pre-Calculus", then you could at least be able to tutor Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. You could still attend a community college to continue your formal education if you do not yet know when you will attend a university. Community colleges should give no big obstacles for admission. Also, a community college would help you keep in academic shape before starting at a university.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
