A GED is granted after you have completed night school. It is a way for adults to get a h.s. diploma. A h.s. diploma means you stayed in school 4 yrs. Good universities do not taken the GED  as seriously as the h.s. diploma. If your in h.s. and are thinking about dropping out. DON'T. If your an adult who needs a diploma it is a stepping stone for getting your life back on track.

Because a GED means that you quit. Even if you had a good reason to quit, you quit. A high school diploma means that you persevered even when you didn't want to. You saw it through. That said, there are many people who quit because of hardships in their homes. They often need to get out and away from a bad situation. They have to work to support themselves. Then later, these people go back and get their GED. They can go to community college and finally earn college degrees. So, it's not over for those people that have to quit and get GEDs. But you don't sound one of them. I commend you for thinking rationally about it before just doing it and not showing up for school anymore. Your life would be simpler if you just saw high school to it's finish. Best wishes to you.

I am not from Texas, but in Indiana there is the Indiana Department of Education; the have references to all kinds of schools including those that cater to Adults for Basic Education purposes including the GED and QED (same as a diploma);  Most of the "alternative" schools offer credit courses were you can make up the lost credit syou had when you didn't complete high school; they also provide GED courses if you have been out of school for a few decades and want to finish your education to further your job skills.  Good luck and I am proud of your for going back to school. After you have completed your goal consider taking ABE (Adult Basic Ed) classes and prepare to go to college, you'll feel great about your accomplishments!

Without a High School diploma, your opportunties with certainly be limited.  Most employers won't even consider someone without a HS diploma.  If you don't have a diploma, a GED would at least get you in the door.

From reading this question, I am assuming that you have not taken any college level courses yet.\n\nOne place that will admit you with a G.E.D. is a community college.  Regardless if you are a high school graduate with a horrible grade point average (GPA) and SAT scores, a community college welcomes them.\n\nCommunity colleges serve the community, and gives them a fair chance to get themselves ahead in life.  Plus, if you do well in a community college, you can transfer your two years worth of those courses to a 4-year university, where you will be declared a Junior.\n\nUniversities do not care that you have a GED when you transfer from a community college.  They care about your college course grades and your grade point average.\n\nGood luck!

The GED is just a test--you can take it whenever you wish.  To get an actual diploma, you have to fulfill the state requirements for a high school diploma.  There are colleges who will take you with a GED--you just have to look.\n\nAs for GED classes, there are two types:  \n1. The ones in high school where they stick the kids who are going to fail anyway, and a few of them actually pass the GED.  \n2. The ones offered as night courses--you would probably have to pay a fee to take these.

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.

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

Well Curious it depends on the culinary school. Now there are some culinary schools with community colleges that do require a ged or hs diploma. But there are others that don't that are franchises of their own. But they cost more too.

Yes you can.  You probably will have to take placement tests for the college you have chosen to attend.

Depends on the college, of course. If you have your heart set on a difficult college with a competitive admissions process it may be better to take a year at an accredited state school then transfer in... this "hides" the GED as you are coming in as a transfer student from another university.\n\nIf it is a non-competitive university, then it should not be a big deal. You get out of college exactly what you put into it... hard work equals big rewards. \n\nGood luck!

I'm not trying to be silly with this answer, just giving you another option. In some states (like mine, California) you can start at community college without a diploma or GED. If you're planning to go to community college, you might want to check on their policies. The GED is useful if you don't plan to go on to any other education, but you may be able to ditch it and just start college classes.\n\nJust a thought.

High school does not matter as much as people say it does. One D will not make you look bad, but you may have to take the equivalent class in college once again because D is not a passing grade to most colleges. Just make sure you do your best next time, and if you have only one D then I'm sure they'll overlook it to see the rest of your great grades.

Mine is kind of a "different" sort of case.\n\nI have a G.E.D. because of this, rather than a standard high school diploma. \n\nI started university coursework at the age of 14, in language arts, history, music, and eventually sciences. The high school transferred credits onto my transcript there, too. I continued with math and some electives at the high school, for another 2 years, but then went to full-time college attendance. At that point, 21 high school credits were needed for a diploma, and I had 25. However, somehow they found me short 1/2 credit, in world literature/12th grade grammar. They also refused to accept ANY of the university's freshman or sophomore world lit classes as concurrent credit, because "none of them matched the high school 12th grade curriculum requirements." They wanted me to RETURN to the high school and sit through a semester of 12th grade language arts, when I was earning A's in English at the college level. I told them where they could stick their diploma.\n\nI took a year off of my studies when I was 17 years old (in 1986), to work at a bank. For the bank's paperwork, they needed me to have something like a high school diploma from me, so they had me take the G.E.D., paying the testing fees, etc. \n\nBecause of several other components to my experience (which I didn't go into here because the whole soap opera would take a book...) I am a strong advocate for the "standard" gifted education policy being enrichment and curriculum acceleration/compression within the chronological grade level, rather than acceleration of the student to sit with older students (which should only happen, if absolutely needed, after careful consideration of the student's emotional and social development).

If you are working through a local college or university, you would need to go through your advisor for this because they may not transfer credit for just any course matching that description you might find.\n\nIf you are just wanting to take a special ed assessment class without being in a program, you won't be able to take a good one because there are prerequisites.
