Yes, of course, but you have to get a good score on your GED as well.

This is just an example: https://admissions.arizona.edu/requirements/comprehensive.aspx

“Students who take the GED must earn an average score of 500 for admission consideration.”

Keep in mind, however, that it’s probably more difficult to get into more prestigious schools with a GED because a) you lack more “advanced” courses like AP, IB, etc. and b) you lack a contribution to your community due to the fact that you wouldn’t have any EC’s that benefit a school (you’d have to find them on your own.)
