is it possible to get into a 4 year college witha GED? will you more likely get accepted if you finish school?

GED basically means your student career is over, but you can get in  with it.

Finish school. seriously. You'll be glad you did.

You have a very slim chance of getting into a 4 year school with a GED.  They want to see people who finished high school.  They say it shows that you are dedicated to your education.

More likely accepted via finishing high school.

You CAN get in with GED, but trust me - many of the colleges that are any good won't even consider it. No offence to all u GED guys out there.

Finishing school with a diploma, or even a regent diploma definitely improves your chances...

GED is pretty weak. If you have the means to finish school, I'd do that.
