I am homeschooled and have been for about a year now. Will I have less college opportunities? Will it be harder to get scholarships?

You will have as good of a chance as any student with the same coursework, transcripts, and standardized test scores. If you're finishing early, without completing rigorous coursework, that could be a disadvantage. Most universities require two years of foreign language, four years of English language, three years of math and science. Sometimes they say that third year of science is highly recommended, and by that it means it's more less required. You need to be sure that you look up the requirements for the University's you'll be applying to. Sometimes the requirements are a little bit different for independently homeschooled students. They may for instance not require the foreign language, however they may require additional subject tests for homeschooled students. You need to go to the University's websites to find those. You can't rely on someone's experience with a different University, as they all set their own requirements. One thing will be you do need very good SAT and or ACT test scores. For schooled students who have a high GPA, they can balance a slightly lower standardized test score. However homeschooled students need to show their Excellence with good SAT and or ACT scores regardless. That can work for you if you're good standardized test taker, or against you if you're not. The main advantage you to have as being a home-schooled student applying to universities is that you're different than the standard applicant. Universities like diversity. That's not just racial or ethnic. It's also economic, school-style, geographic location, excetera. If you're applying to the university and plan to go away and live in residential housing, being younger may work to your disadvantage. 16 is awfully young to be living away from home a thousand miles away in a dorm. And universities know that. One option is always to attend Community College. community colleges are non selective. They actually give you at some public universities a transfer advantage. If you go that route, your homeschooling won't matter either way. As transfer students are never asked to apply as homeschooled students. At that point they just won't care.

As far as scholarships or financial aid, it shouldn't make a difference. Scholarships are usually given on merritt, and are written by The grantor for specific groups. Scholarships usually don't cover all college expenses, so most students combined scholarships and financial aid. Financial aid is always needs based, so it won't make any difference at all how you were educated

Your chances are the same or greater. Just GET good scores on the SAT/ACT, and have interesting activities under your belt.
