<p>I was unable to attend high school due to medical conditions (chronic daily migraines and a sleep disorder). Since then, I've gotten my problems under control and I have been working ever since. Once I turn 18, I plan on getting my GED. I was wondering how this looks on an application to NYU. I have researched a countless amount of schools and NYU is the one I really have my heart set on. I would like to study International Relations at CAS. Does NYU look down upon GED applicants, no matter how high their test scores are? I've heard that it's harder to get in as a transfer than as a freshman, but do you think in my case they'd be more likely to accept me after finishing a year or two at a state/community college? Should I just take a few college level classes then apply as a freshman? What other things should I do to improve my chances?
Help and opinions would be awesome.
Thanks!</p>
<p>If i were you, I'd probably go to a state or community college for a year and really work my butt off, and then apply :) I really don't know what would be the best thing to do, but that's what I would do.</p>
