But Likins told regents UA only receives about four applications per year from home-schooled students, and only one or two actually enroll a year.

This number has me floored...how many hundreds of students each year apply to the UofA? And there are only 4 home-schooled students in that bunch?

Oh, wait a minute, I understand now! The rest of them are smart enough to go to really excellent colleges or universities, and those four have some other reason for specifically seeking UA admission...
