A high school diploma is OVER-RATED .You'll do just fine with a GED.I dropped out of high school when i was 16 and recieved my GED 1 month later.After that I enrolled in a Junior college and graduated with an A.S. degree in mathematics by the time i was 18,which is the time i should of finished high school.By the time my friends graduated high school,I already had a college degree.Upon completion of my A.S. and a GPA of 3.8, I transferred to The University of Southern California (usc) and by the time i was 20 yrs old graduated with a Bachelor's of Science(B.S.) in Aerospace Engineering.I went on to grad school after that and by the time I was 22 I graduated with a masters in PHYSICS. I am now 23 and I work for BOEING As a Head engineer and I'm planning on becoming a proffesor at usc next year and teach physics.I am very proud of my success and all of this started with a simple GED.

Yes. You must have 1 of the 2. Some schools will not accept you with a GED, others will. Most schools also want you to take the ACT and SAT.

To get College credits you have to have a diploma or a GED.

Yes. If you need to get your GED, classes to help you prepare are available for free at your local community college. After you successfully finish the battery of tests, you will be eligible to apply for financial aid, work-study positions, and admission to college. Tip: to save money, you can take the first two years of college at a community college, then transfer your credits to a four-year college. Good luck.

THE BETTER THE COLLEGE THE MORE THEY ASK FOR, NOW YOU CAN GO TO SOME JUNIOR COLLEGES AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE 6 MONTHS AFTER STARTING TO GET YOUR GED.
