catharineg,

I am happy to give you a better idea of what we would hope to see, and a GED is way down on the list. You need to look at it from the college’s perspective. We are going to expect a student to come in and work hard every day to complete a set curriculum. I understand the desire to provide academic freedom for your son, but having college be the first place he encounters a set, structured academic environment would raise some concerns in the admission committee. The greatest predictor of success for our students is not test scores, but the overall grade performance in school.

But perhaps I didn’t understand your post and you could give me some more information. Feel free to contact me at any time.
