what kind of college can you get in with a G.E.D. or does that not matter and based on SAT or ACT scores??

Answer 1

Let's put it this way: If you achieve extremely high scores on the SAT or ACT, a GED will not hold you back in terms of admissions.

For example, I attended a highly selective college, and a good friend of mine there had been kicked out of his prep school, and thus did not finish school. He did, however, get his GED. He got extremely high scores on the SAT, and was admitted almost everywhere he applied.

College admissions officers always consider many aspects of each application, and if you write a literate application essay which includes an explanation of the circumstances surrounding your choice of a GED rather than a traditional high school diploma, your chances of admission should approximate those of any other applicant with similar SAT scores, community service, leadership roles, etc.

Answer 2

It depends on how old you are, if you are over 21 you will not need SAT or ACT scores for some colleges. My husband has a GED and he was accepted at our main university here in Boise.You dont necessarily have to apply at a community college,its not your only option...So Goodluck!

Answer 3

It matters and unfortunately GEDs are looked down upon on college applications, even with great test scores. I think your best bet is to go to a community college and then transfer. That way your college will be your most recent education and not the GED.

Answer 4

A community college

Answer 5

probably a community college, considering most 4-year colleges will look at standardized test scores. You best chance is to individually write to them and see if they can make an exception to your case...(usually works best if your a non-traditional student or have experience extreme hardship)

Answer 6

A community college is easiest, though some state universities will readily accept you, too.
