Homeschool to Harvard: Inside the Admissions Process with Harvard's Admissions Office
This session is officially co-hosted by YourEDU and Harvard's Admissions Office — a direct, off-the-record conversation about how Harvard evaluates homeschool applicants.
Harvard's admissions process is opaque even to traditional applicants. For homeschoolers, the uncertainty compounds: without a standard transcript, GPA scale, or guidance counselor, it's easy to wonder whether your application is even being read the same way. This session cuts through the speculation with answers straight from the office itself.
A Harvard admissions officer will walk through how the office actually evaluates homeschool applications — what's required, what stands out, what tends to trip families up, and what they wish more homeschoolers knew before submitting.
The second half of the session is dedicated to live Q&A directly with the admissions office. Space is limited, so please RSVP as soon as you're able.
*This session is cohosted with YourEDU, the free college application platform dedicated to serving homeschool families!
About the Speakers
Harvard's Admissions Office
This session will be led by a member of Harvard's Admissions Office. The specific officer will be confirmed closer to the event date. Harvard's Admissions Office reviews applications from homeschool students every cycle and brings firsthand perspective on what makes a strong homeschool application. The conversation represents the office's institutional view of homeschool admissions.
Henry Hill-Gorman
Henry Hill-Gorman is moderating this session. Henry was homeschooled K-12 in Madison, Wisconsin — a mix of unschooling, homeschool co-op classes, self-directed courses, community college dual enrollment, and courses through his local university. He holds a bachelor's in philosophy & economics, honors in Ethics, and a master's degree in Media & Business from Stanford University. As a former homeschool college applicant himself, Henry will guide the conversation with the questions Harvard's Admissions Office hears from homeschool families every cycle.
