Apply to a college or university in the state that you or your parents pay taxes in. State owned colleges and universities have to accept you on condition that you maintain their academic standards.

Colleges go on points earned. If you have high scores on the GED, you will have no problem getting in to college. The best thing to do is apply at every college you want to attend and then choose from the ones who send you acceptance letters. You will also get rejection letters, don't get discouraged. Keep plugging away and you will find the right college for you. Good luck. Nana

What will really help you is if you attend a Jr. College and graduate with honors. If you can prove you're capable of doing this level of work and maintain a 4.0 average (or better) it will look extremely good on your college applications. Plus many universities accept transfer credits from Jr. colleges! You'd have to look into this, of course, because some Jr. colleges aren't as strict or offer as difficult course work as others. The one I attended was excellent, so much so that my Bio 104 class was accepted at any university in my state as a pre-med class.
Look around at the jr. colleges in your area and pick the one that has the highest accreditation, then check to see if the university you'd like to attend later accepts transfer credits from the school.
Honestly, though? I wouldn't advise you to jump right into university, Honey, especially if you've been out of school for a while. Even after attaining my jr. college degree I still wasn't entirely prepared for what I met at university; the work load was unbelievable?! For anyone who's been out of school more than, say, six months I'd advise them to attend jr. college for at least one year before considering moving up to a university. This is especially true if you're a parent, and will be dealing with one or more kids while attending school.
Also, although this doesn't apply to all universities, the one I attneded after attaining my degree accepted most of my credits so I was able to transfer in as a junior year student instead of a freshman or sophomore. This had the benefit of allowing me to SKIP taking the SATs and ACTs, something else you might want to think about.

If you take the SAT or ACT and scored well on them and scored well on the GED, and are good at writing the admissions essays, you will be able to get into a good school.

A GED is recognized as a legitimate diploma, as long as your SAT scores and or entrance exam scores are good you should have no problems getting into a good college. Congrats on continuing your education!

Go to a community college. You can't go to any college without taking the SAT's. a community college lets anyone in who has a GED.
