<p>Virtually all universities will require a high school graduation equivalency. If you’re still a teen you could go back to school, if you’re an adult you should take your GED (it’s changed names now, BTW).
To prepare for the ACT, use number2.com. It’s free. It’s an online program that targets your problems and keeps asking the same type of questions until you get them right, so that you don’t get them wrong on the test.
With a GED and a good ACT score yes you could go to a university. Look at your local universities, go visit, see if some “feel” more comfortable to you. Take a tour (you can register ahead of time = you demonstrate interest = it may help your admission since they know you’re really interested – this does not apply to all universities but some write your name and kind of add bonus points for visiting and showing interest). Go sit in the cafeteria and join/ listen in on the conversations aroung you: are those kids you’d like to be friends with? Ask to sit in on a first year class in a subject you’re interested in: is the pace okay? is the style of teaching interesting to you? Do you feel like participating?</p>
