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.

Do colleges care more about a good GPA or a good ACT score?

I have a good GPA but a low ACT score. I've looked at a lot of school websites, and my ACT score is lower than the low range of students they accept. I worry about being rejected because of the ACT score. #worriedaboutgettingin

How competitive is the career I'd like to go into?

I would like to pursue my dreams of becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner but I am scared of actually staying committed to it because If its too competitive I'm worried I will be jobless once I graduate from college. #psychiatric-nurse-practitioner

Are SAT and ACT scores more relevant than GPA and overall grades when it comes to college admissions?

Since a lot of high schools weight their GPAs differently, and since SATs and ACTs are standardized, I was wondering which aspect makes more of a difference when applying to colleges.
