Answer 1

My wife dropped out of high school. Several years later she went back to school and got her GED. She then enrolled at a State U. (not CC) and has since earned two bachelor's degrees and is working on her MA (with a 4.0 GPA right now). It can be done.

Answer 2

Do well in high school, if you can't pull that off there is no way you can get into medical school.
If you don't like the time it is taking to get through high school that is also in your control. I did community college classes at night while going to high school so that I was only in high school for 5 semesters total (2.5 years).
Your other option would be to look into alternative programs which will let you finish work self-paced (and you generally show up to speak with an academic adviser for like 2 hours a day to discuss any questions and whatever).
The community college route is a possibility depending on the school you are transferring to (like University of Washington has stated that they are no longer accepting transfer students from community colleges at all).

Answer 3

get your GED
and just go to community college and you'll be fine!
