Hey, I’m a 17yo GED grad, and I’ve been wondering what applying could be like for people who didn’t do high school in the traditional way.

Since I didn’t do all of HS, I don’t have credits for electives or extracurriculars, and I haven’t taken the SAT or ACT. I have plans to take classes at my local community college, as I don’t plan to start applying until 2025 when the rest of my friends are.

From what I’ve heard, PSU’s acceptance rate is pretty high, but those applicants all took the SAT or ACT.

This school feels like a good fit because its close to home, but I want to know your opinions on my chances of getting in, and what I should do to help my chances. I’m not against taking the tests, but I have never studied for them and I’m extremely behind in that area compared to my peers.

Any thoughts are appreciated <3 also am meeting with a college counselor!
