You don’t need the GED if you have the CHSPE (in fact, you wouldn’t need it even without the CHSPE) because they essentially do the same thing, but the CHSPE is more for precocious students, and GED can carry a “drop-out” stigma. Many collleges have distinct admissions requirements for non-traditional students. That’s your handle – not homeschooler, not drop-out. You are a non-traditional student. Get great SATs (including some SAT Subject Tests) make clear that foreign language proficiency. Especially take the advice already mentioned: call the admissions offices of some colleges you’re especially interested and talk to them about your background and your ambitions. (Do it in the late spring when things are a little less frantic than they are between Oct-April.) Find out what they want to see from you. Being a non-traditional student can work in your favor.
