Realistic schools for someone in my situation? (HS dropout in community college)

Check with each school that you want to apply to. Many do not even look at high school records or SAT scores for transfers. Each school may have a different threshold of units you need to have. I have a friend whose child had a 2.3 GPA in high school, went to CC for two years, and transferred to USC where they do not ask for high school records if you have 30 college units.
