How much harder is it to get into college with a GED than with a high school diploma?

Answer:

For most colleges it is not much harder at all, and in many it is about the same difficulty. You will want to have good GED scores though. Remember that just as with a high school diploma, the minimum requirements for achieving a GED are lower than the minimum requirements for entering a college. Typically you should also include information in the admissions essay about why you have a GED rather than a high school diploma. Keep in mind that "I hated my teachers and the other students suck" is generally not going to win you points with a college admissions comittee.
