cframe, I hate to disillusion you but about the time you think you have things figured out, you'll have to start all over again. It's a never ending process.
For the life of me, I can't remember if a HS transcript was an issue or not at TESC. I do know it was a big issue at Excelsior, and I remember sending them one after they received my son's college transcripts. They specifically asked for it.
We also took advantage of dual enrolled classes and subsequently Fl. Bright Futures. It helps out a lot even if you have to pay for books. It's really not necessary to file an appeal letter for the "under 21" rule if they have a college transcript.
My son was accepted at 15 to TESC with over 90 credits. He officially enrolled this month and will finish his degree requirements in December. They just did an evaluation and he only needs 14 more credits. He's going to take 7 over the summer and 7 in the fall. He's ready for a break after taking 19 credits after applying for admission to TESC and 21 credits this semester (plus 4 open ended credits that can be completed at any time). The key is mixing and matching the courses so you have 'light' ones mixed with heavier ones.
I also vote for dropping the homeschool curriculum. It's not really necessary. His high school credits can be met through his college classes as dual enrollment. Can't help with grad school and plans. It ain't happening here--at least not for a long time.
