If you have ever wondered how competitive admission to online schools might be, you should read Online Schools Draw Interest. This article at MyrtleBeach.com states that all three of South Carolina’s online schools have received many more applications than spaces are available.
While I do not know what your state may be like, I believe what is happening in South Carolina is part of a growing trend.

Dr. Joseph Gallegos of Orion High School informs me that as of May 2008 the school is now a candidate for both CITA and SACS accreditation. Best Online High Schools and I offer Orion our heartiest congratulations. This is a major testament to the quality of their program.
To say it is challenging to become a candidate would be making a simplistic statement. This sort of candidacy is designed to weed out the poor schools from the very beginning. If you can actually get to the candidacy stage, you have achieved a real milestone.
What does this mean to you? It means that, while they still must meet certain requirements by their November 2009 final visit, you can be sure of the quality of the program. That says a lot.
