Can you get to a 4 year University with a GED?

Question

I have a GED and I'm wanting to get into a 4 year College can I do that or do I need to go to a technical college first then transfer?

Answer 1

Yeah, you can.

IMO, I'd say go to community college and then later transfer. It'll prepare the transition to a 4 yr. university. At least, that's what I'm doing.

If you don't want to go from school to school, you can skip all of that, and apply to the university college of your choice.

Answer 2

This question is personal for me, I don't know about Florida specifically... in California (where I live) I had not yet graduated high-school or received my GED and I got in to community college, went from there to a 4 year State college and now have a doctorate. Don't give up, even if you have to do Community College first... it can be a great opportunity to explore different majors for cheaper than spending 5 (or 6!) years at a 4 year university because of changing majors halfway through!

Answer 3

Two Words, Community College.

I am currently at a community college paying 2/3's the price and getting the same credit that will transfer.

To answer the question, depending on the school, most schools accept GED's

Answer 4

not unless it is an open admisstion 4 year college
go to a comunity college and then transfer after 2 years it will save you money and get you the same degree but do your research to be sure the credits will carry over

Answer 5

You can go to University. Don't pester them with a special call. Just apply in the usual way.

Answer 6

absolutely. they may have you take placement tests or sat's but there is no reason you can not get into a 4 years college. get those applications in!

Answer 7

Yes, call the school you wish to attend and make an appointment with a counselor.
