I'm wondering realistically what the chance's are of attending a University. I'm looking for a third tier, 4 year college like, say kent state, or U of Wisc. I dropped out in the 10th grade and got my g.e.d. when i was 15years and 3 month's( i am now 22). Consequently I had to take prepatory class's at my community college, to bring my Math, English, and Reading skill's to a proficient "college level". I have 47 "credits" towards my associates in Computer Science, 10 non-credit prepatory course's. We are currently moving, and I will be unable to pertain the amount of credits I need to graduate at my local cc. I have a 3.75gpa in my short tenure at the school.
I am currently studying as hard as humanly possible and expect to score decent on the SAT. I want the experiance of living on campus! Am I being unrealistic to think that I might be able to attend with a decent SAT outting? Do i need a background in Chemistry/Social Science/History...What else might i need to look in to further?

Sounds like an amazing college essay to me!
I have a family friend that was kicked out of high school in the '70s because she was pregnant (although married) so she was forced to get her GED. A few years later she was admitted to Harvard.
Check the admission requirements of the schools you are interested in attending. If you're still confused you should call the Office of Admissions (for any/all schools) and they will be very happy to help explain it to you.
Good luck!

I think you´re definetily taking steps to prepare yourself for college. You need to talk to a counselor in your community college and get details of what you need to do next. I think also that transfering credits from comm college to university is possible, but I´m not sure, so I suggest you check with the admissions department of the schools you´re interested in.
Good luck

I think this is very possible. I believe if you have a GED and u want to attend a good university then your SAT scored would be really important!!! Just do REALLy well on that. Its difficult but I do think its possible!

anything's possible. GED generally means somebody screwed up a little along the way. but it's good that your trying to get your life back on track. that can also be as impressive as someone who went to school nonstop. it shows that in the face of adversity, you've overcome struggles and hardships.
