Thank you all for the responses.

I did think I couldn’t claim myself as a homeschooler, but thanks for clarifying that for me. Is there an option such as “others” to choose on most college applications?

As for GED, does CHSPE count? It’s a high school proficiency exam from CA, and I passed that as soon as I dropped out to go to a community college (which never worked out)
I wouldn’t mind taking GED at all though, in fact, I might want to take it on top of the other one I passed just to get a perfect score to strengthen my stat.

The four year school I’m considering right now does accept CLEP and even listed the scores to pass in order to get credits for the subjects. I’m not sure though if I can take AP exams. I did take AP Calculus when I was in my sophomore year right before dropping out, so I’d definitely be interested in passing AP exams on top of CLEP if that will help.

As for going to community college, that was my initial plan, but after intensively reading this board for weeks and realizing I would have much better chance to transfer to an excellent school out of a pretty good four year university rather than a community college (even though CA has some excellent CC’s), I decided to go with the new plan. After all, it seems like it’s pretty easy to not very difficult to only transfer to UC’s but still extremely challenging to transfer to a private school on the East coast.
