What to do if I have no APs/Honors/Extracurriculars (a shy homeschooled Junior in HS who wants to pursue either becoming a lawyer or something in the forensic science area)?

I feel very behind and stressed because though I do make good grades, I know that I should have at least a few of these things but I don’t. I know the best way is for me to just do something about it but I’m not sure on how to go about it. I also feel stressed because I’m not 100% for sure which career path I should pursue: law or forensic science. I will take any advice. Do you think that it would be a good idea if I take any APs/Honors next year or will it be too late? I was thinking of taking dual enrollment next year and some CLEP exams this year. And, what extracurriculars should I do as of now, and for my senior year—ones that match the careers i want to do or a variety of different things that interest me? (sorry if i got off topic!!!) Thank you in advance because any help/advice will be appreciated!

How can a homeschool student explore different careers?

My family recently moved, and our new hometown doesn't have as many resources for homeschoolers as our previous one. My brother is gradating next year, and I want to help him explore different careers and make a good decision. What are ways for him to explore careers in a first hand experience and network with professionals?

Do students from private or public schools have a high chance of getting into selective colleges?

I'm considering transfering out of my high school, a private high school, but I am wondering if it will hurt me later on. I want to be homeschooled and get my education through an online high school to graduate early. But will that affect my chances of getting into a very selective school such as NYU, Cornell, or Columbia University? Will kids graduating from a non-online school have a better shot at admissions then I will? #homeschool #private school #college-admissions #college

Do home schooled students have as good a chance of being accepted to colleges as kids in traditional schools?

I am homeschooled and I read once that some colleges are skeptical about transcripts from home schooled students. I worry about being accepted because my ACT score isn't great. #homeschool
