of course you can! And congratulations for getting your G.E.D., it may take awhile, but 4 year university will be worth it in the end.

If you go in with at least 15 credit hours I think they can give you E-3.  If you have a 4 year degree, you can go in as an E-4.  Other than that, I don't know.

If you have the opportunity to get a true high school diploma, I would suggest that 1st.  it is usually looked upon in a much better light.  however if it is not an option, a G.E.D. is definitely better than nothing.

I'm under the impression that a number of them will accept a GED in lieu of a high school diploma.  Just like in the US, however, each school makes it own rules regarding acceptance of GEDs.\n\nIf you haven't taken an SAT/ACT in the past five years (or you aren't happy with the score you received), you are probably going to have to register for them and take them (again, perhaps) so you have some test scores to show (esp. with a GED).\n\nMany colleges also offer "continuing education" programs of study for people who have taken a few years off from continuous education (like you, many joined the military).  They should be particularly understanding of your situation and much more willing to assist you in any difficulties you might encounter.\n\nIn your application essays, you should make a note of why you left high school (patriotism and military service are pretty good causes), how you still went through the trouble to get a GED, and what you've learned during your stint in the army and how you've matured intellectually as a person.\n\nBest of luck.  You're toughest issue, finances, is already out of the way.

Yes. Contact your local college's testing center to find out more details.

Your guardian would have to withdraw you from school first.  But, you may need to be at least 16\nPray really hard before you make this life changing decision.

She can take the GED test; I believe some places even offer refresher courses to help prepare you for the exam. Also she could start college at a community college, most of these have open enrollment policies where anyone can get in, diploma or not, provided they take and pass placement exams for math and such. Once she has her AA from one of these, she can transfer anywhere pretty much. PS I went back to school at 30 and had a great time; I hope that she does too!

Yes you can, but you will also need to take the SAT's and provide your scores to the college of your choice.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT\n\nKõikke head.

depends what college. a community college you don't have to graduate but other than that there will probably be a university you can attend as long as your gpa is high enough to graduate

Check to see if the tech school will accept an "Ability to Benefit test" instead of a GED or diploma. (Call the tech school you are interested in).  My former community college did.  If they don't you can try to take the GED test without a class beforehand, I believe.  \n\nGood luck :)

You certainly can! SAT/ACT scores can help if you want to go directly to a university, but I'm sure you could attend a community college without a problem. If you check around at community colleges, many have "articulation agreements" so if you want to go to a university the articulation agreement will ensure that certain schools will accept all of the credits you earn there (a problem many transfer students face.) Community colleges cost less and typically offer more financial aid, so you could save yourself time & $ by going this route. You'll have a bunch of pieces of paper in no time! Good luck & congrats in advance!

wouldn't that be something you should look into? You are making random people do your job. Look in the phonebook for GED classes and call the number provided. They will tell you if it's possible and when and where you can take it.

I'm pretty sure that many community colleges offer GEDs. They might even give you credit from classes you took in HS. Search for community colleges in your area.

Well it depends on what you intend to do with your diploma. Some people who get a G.E.D. have already succeeded. If anybody tries to succeed, then that will bring the highest probability that they will succeed regardless of their educational "attainment".

I outta warn you... as a high school student. My college counselors have urged my sister not to do the same, too. Colleges such as the UCs and CSUs look for high school graduates... with good grades, extracurriculars, etc. When they see that you have a GED... they tend to think, "Who's this podunk trash with their GED? Why couldn't they sit through high school all the way? Did they want to drop out? Or were they pregnant? (if you are a female)" I'm sorry to say it that way... but it's true.\n\nColleges can be real assh*les, sometimes because they look at people with GEDs VERY negatively. They don't think, "oh, how nice! this person finished their degree in a year... instead of four! they must be gifted!" They tend think of you as a moron for getting a GED instead of a high-school diploma.\n\nHell, look at those Bryman, Westwood, PCDI, Devry, etc. commercials on the TV all the time. They say, "or get your high-school diploma..." instead of "get your GED"- because the high school diploma is far better than the GED. The GED is pretty much second rate.\n\nIf you're in high school... you can still go to a city college. Earn a ton of college credits and when you get your high school diploma... go to the city college. Then get into the Transfer Program (TAP, which means, "Transfer Alliance Program"- I'm pretty sure...) and get Honors classes. EARN A's, DAMNIT! EARN A's!! Then apply to a UC or a CSU and they'll accept you. Also... you won't have to do the classes you took at community college. ;-)\n\nTrust me... you'll be able to go to a UC. They have this new KICK A$S program now... which says, "If you are in the top 4% of your entire class... then you are GUARANTEED a seat in a UC school." I'm not kidding... it's totally true. So, try this: stay in high school, take a lot of APs and Honors classes in high school... and kick serious butt in the classes... get a FANTASTIC GPA and try to get into the top 4% of your class. Then apply. You're done. :-D\n\nBut try to get some college credits in the process, too... It's less work for when you make it to the UCs. :-)\n\nI'm going to be a senior in like 2 weeks... and I'm already breaking my back trying to make it to the top 4%. But it'll all be worth it. Just try it... It won't hurt you. Also, talk to your counselors and make them know what your goals are. :-)

GED's do not come with a GPA. You need to contact the school you are applying to.
