I'm homeschooled, and I go into NYU and UPenn.

Nope not at all.

No. The only "harder" part, which is relative, is keeping a transcript and portfolio yourself (with your parents' help).

You should have no trouble with ACT/SAT scores, a transcript, a portfolio, and possibly an interview with an admissions officer at the college/university you wish to attend.

You can get a jump start on college courses by taking community college courses while you're still in high school for "dual credit". Then you can enter full time college with several credits under your belt.

Colleges actively seek HS'ed students because they actually know how to learn on their own and work hard.

Why would you say that? There is nothing wrong with homeschool, I think that colleges would like you better if you were homeschool, because you might be smarter then the kids that went to Public school.
