Swede with GED

<p>Hello, so I took the GED test this fall, got my results around christmas, which was somewhat decent. According to some website it translates to 3.5-3.6 GPA, was in the 99th percentile in Math, and high in Social Studies and English Reading also. So, I'm looking for a CC or regular College that would accept me. I haven't done the SAT yet, thus I think going to a regular college might be somewhat of a problem(?). </p>

<p>So please, help me.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any college or university in the US that does not admit students who have a GED. Don’t worry about that one. Make a list of places that are interesting to you, and check their websites for specific application information. It is OK to call the admissions offices and talk with them about your situation.</p>

<p>Oh that’s great. But most regular colleges’s admissions are closed now, are they not? Plus, I don’t have a lot of(any) extracurricular activities, and went a somewhat unorthodox route. If that is good or bad, I do not know yet. Most CC’s have rolling admission, right?</p>

<p>Have you taken the TOEFL test yet ? We had a Swedish student that we sponsored for his undergrad studies at a local state college a few years ago…he never took the SAT</p>

<p>Unfortunately not, sicne I took the GED I thought that might show at what level my English is at? Maybe I should try to do it asap, but is it even possible to apply for colleges for the Fall of 2011 right now, or is it closed everywhere? Do you know if they got rolling admissions on most state colleges?</p>

<p>I think there are some threads her about colleges with rolling admissions , but I’d look into TOEFL just the same. Our family friend that we sponsored also took classes at a local community college ( simultaneously while enrolled at state university ) He did this to save a little money. All turned out well for him as he graduated summa cum laude !</p>

<p>Maybe it would be the easiest to apply for a CC and try to get ahold of an apartment? Since studying at a Community College isn’t that cheap as a foreginer any way, right?</p>

<p>One place to find rolling and late application date schools is: [List</a> of Late Deadline Schools- Locate Colleges with Late Application Deadlines at Petersons.com](<a href=“http://www.petersons.com/college-search/late-deadline-schools.aspx]List”>http://www.petersons.com/college-search/late-deadline-schools.aspx)</p>

<p>What is your budget, where are you, and what is your immigration status? If you are outside the US, there may not be enough time to apply, get accepted, and take care of the paperwork for a student visa for fall 2011. If you are in the US now, your state of residence and your visa status can affect whether or not you are eligible for in-state/in-county tuition and fees at public universities and community colleges.</p>

<p>If you are an international applicant, the colleges and universities may not know quite what to do with your GED score. Be prepared to supply copies of any secondary school records that you have as well.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
