My kids were home-schooled in the early elementary grades. One is now a High School science teacher with a Master's degree in education (undergrad in Biology); one had the 2nd best academic record in her High School class of about 350, and best academics in her department at college; and the youngest is scoring top 2% to 5% in his college entrance exams.

My point: never apologize for being home-schooled, or use it as an excuse. You are very organized, articulate, and broadly knowledgable. I'm not only attracted to intelligent people in general, but think that brainy girls are very sexy! Don't be afraid to let it show!

As for the physics - I hope your degree program requires at least some introductory science. I'm NOT going to hit you with, "My Engineering core required literature and psychology, so you artsy types need to have some math and science." - that argument is totally bogus. I'll just say that an educated, well-rounded person benefits herself as well as those around her by at least knowing the vocabulary and major facts associated with a variety of disciplines.
