I have my GED. I'll have taken my SAT soon and with both want to apply to a 4 year

Applying to College

<p>I have my GED. I didn't do so well on it but I plan on taking it again after I study for my SAT. I really really want to go to a four year college. I know I can go to a Community College and then transfer but if possible I'd really like to go to a 4 years. If I study for my SAT and do well on it and then take my GED again and get better results on it will that be enough for an application to a 4 year University like Kansas State , West Virginia or University of Iowa. Any college really, I'm not set on one. </p>

<pre><code> Another thing to mention is that I stopped going to high school the middle of freshmen year and have no high school transcripts. Parents had me doing the homeschool thing for a while but my parents are workaholics and it just didn't work out. We've been moving like mad men and everything has gotten lost so I don;t have any sort of information on my highschool/homeschooling. 

              It's been a while since the time I studied for my GED test.  I forgot alot if not all of the math and English I studied for so I need to start from the bottom up. I have the time to study and work hard to get where I want to be. Is it possible for me to Get into a four year then. I'll take my ACT as well if it improves my chances.

<p>So, did you not pass the GED when you took it the first time? (I am not sure that you can take it again if you have already passed it. It’s not like the SAT that way.)</p>

<p>Oh hmm didn’t think of that. I’ll have to find out.</p>

<p>If you passed it the first time, you have a high school diploma.</p>

<p>You need to find out how much your parents truly are ready, willing, and able to pay for your education. Remember, these are the same people who couldn’t manage to make sure that you completed high school. They may not be good about the money issue either. So do your best to get a solid commitment out of them.</p>

<p>Once you know how much money is available, put together a list of places that are within your budget. Then pick up the phone, call the admissions offices, ask to speak to the person who knows the specific policies about applicants who have GEDs, and find out whether or not you are a viable applicant. This kind of policy can change from one year to the next. None of us are likely to have the information that you need.</p>
