I performed atrociously in high school (2.1 and declining) and ended up dropping out and receiving my GED after my junior year. I’m applying to UIUC for the fall as a transfer student from an Illinois CC. I have a 29 ACT, 3.75 GPA, and a multitude of extracurriculars, but does anyone know if the GED will negatively affect my admissions chances? Any response or anecdotal info would be deeply appreciated.
Some other schools I’m applying to are UW Madison and Michigan. Any info about those 2 and their evaluation of GEDs/poor high school transcripts is welcome as well.
