Many NY colleges require a diploma or GED just because they do not want to get into the nonsense that Homeschoolmom actually was able to make crystal clear. You are much needed in the field of technical writing, HSM. Even at Juilliard, where they do not want your highschool transcript or SATs, or any test scores, for that matter, wants either certification from your highschool that you have graduated, or a GED. Now, I suppose some sort of individual appeal could be made and granted, but that was what was on the requirement sheet that my son got from them. A young lady I know who auditioned there a few years ago, and is homeschooled, asked if the “diploma” or certificate of completion which is issued by Thomas Aquinas College through their homeschooling progam, would suffice. She was told “no”.
