<p>I dropped out many moons ago (I should have been a HS graduate class of 2003) due to my parents splitting and the personal problems that mounted after that. I never went back to get my high school diploma. I'm 26 years old now at a community college and a year away from transferring. If it's a requirement, then I have zero issues with going back to get it.</p>
<p>I don’t think so. You should ask a a counselor to know for sure though.</p>
<p>Nope. </p>
<p>I transferred and completed my undergrad at UCLA without one; you also do not need an AA. Simply take the required classes on Assist.org and the GEs (achieving good grades of course)</p>
<p>USC, on the other hand, requires a HS degree.</p>
<p>Not if you went to community college. I graduated from a charter school for “bad kids” in 2004, then straightened my **** out and started community college in 2007 and they asked nothing about my high school stuff in the application. A side note, I failed algebra and geometry in high school, and now im about to go to continue at ucsd for grad school for electrical engineering hahaha. They understand people turn themselves around so I wouldn’t worry about it</p>
<p>Haha, thanks guys!</p>
<p>I know that the UC system does not require a high school diploma for junior level transfer students, and I am pretty sure the CSU system doesn’t require it for junior level transfers either.</p>
<p>It is both reassuring and inspiring to hear the academic success stories of high school drop outs. I dropped out of high school early in my freshman year. Fifteen years later I enrolled in cc. Now I am getting ready to enter my final semester in cc with a 4.0 transferable GPA. I have a TAG with UCSC, and I applied to UCB. </p>
<p>I am extremely grateful that we have an educational system that gives second chances to people that did not or could not take advantage of it the first time around.</p>
