Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

    So you really have to do it as a transfer student. Applying straight to a 4 year school may require a certain GPA in HS, ACT/SAT and you will be in the pool with all the HS applications. Transfer student have a different pool, and most colleges reserved a certain number of spots for transfers.

    Yes. I’ve seen the acceptance rates. One of the reasons I want to redo high school is to reset my GPA and apply as a freshman. The acceptance rates are better. At least the ones I looked at.

    They used the exact same material they used at the 4 year school.

    I’ve heard the exact same lines used to describe the difference between remedial HS classes and the regular ones. When I took a CC class, the teacher would often emphasize picking topics that were easy. She used her example of “studying” cat behavior because it let her sit on her back porch and sip tea. One day, I came in early to the morning class and overheard her shittalking the intelligence of her regular session students and the interest of her summer session students.

    CC advisors will see you before you are enrolled and will give you a much better understanding of what is the best path for you. To them your story is not new or something to be ashamed of.

    I was already denied the geometry class I tried enrolling in once. I shouldn’t have to explain why I want a certain class. I’m just a customer to them. This was a difference school from the biology one.

    I had such a bad time in HS it took me 10 years before I was willing to try school again.

    I’m trying to be polite, but I’m older then you think I am.
