Out of luck?

<p>I have had a lot of trouble throughout highschool, and a month ago got expelled for a "disagreement" with my English teacher. Some words were exchanged which actually resulted in me be expelled. The only choice I had was to go for the GED.</p>

<p>My goal before the expulsion was to join the USMC, but after thinking it through (after all of the processing at MEPS in Detroit, 5-6 long boring hours) I decided that I should pursue what interests me most, computers, and in general, technology.</p>

<p>I have begun to consider my opportunities. I could still join the USMC, but it's not what Im <em>really</em> after. I am dead set on getting into MIT.</p>

<p>Would it at all be possible, after a horrible high school career, to get into MIT? Can I "prove myself" in a local college then transfer? Does unwavering commitment come into play?</p>

<p>Thanks ahead of time for replies :)</p>
