<p>Okay before you all start reading I'd like to tell you actually yes this is for my friend and in fact not me I'm just trying to help him out. My friend recently passed his GED, hes a smart person the reason why he dropped out was because he had to help out his mom since she had a baby and she has no job and her husband left her. He's wondering is it possible to attend some universitys that accepted GED students with no SAT and no college transfers? He knows hes algebra,geometry,science etc. He just doesn't want to go to a CC and waste his time there. I heard some colleges do accepted people with only GED but I'd like more information.</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge, no. Universities accept people based on academics, and a ged is not much of an indicator of academics.</p>
<p>I’ve got a ged and I’m in a cc right now. How is it a waste of time to go to a cc? It let’s you get low level course work and geneds done at a fraction of the cost…that facts got a lot of merit. With no high school transcript or test scores though, I don’t think it would be possible to go straight to a 4 year. There’s nothing wrong with transferring…that’s what I’m doing.</p>
<p>I heard people get into like west virgina university with just a ged and other universitys also just not all some</p>
<p>I do not know of a single college or university that does not admit students who hold a GED.</p>
<p>Your friend should consider his purposes for his higher education, and contact several colleges and universities that offer the major(s) that he is interested in and find out their specific admissions requirements for applicants who have a GED. Many will require that he send copies of whatever high school records he does have (if he has any), and most will require that he take the ACT or SAT. </p>
<p>It is true that most students who have a GED start out at community colleges. So do many, many, many students who have graduated from regular high school programs - my own Happykid started at our local CC. If your friend has serious money issues, two years at the CC and then transferring will almost certainly be more affordable than going straight into a 4-year college or university. Encourage him to meet with the admissions and counseling staff at the closest CCs so that he can learn more about that option.</p>
<p>Yes you can. Most of the average state universities and low tier privates let you get in with a GED…</p>
<p>Cc is not a waste of time brother. Those credits transfer.</p>
<p>Really? I didn’t think 4 years admitted students with GED’s directly, without transferring from a CC. I stand corrected.</p>
<p>^ did you check the common data set ? Its mentioned there…</p>
