Answer 3

Depends on where the online degree comes from.

Generally, any highschool diploma is more favorably looked upon than a GED, because of the stigma GED has attached to it -- people see that and think "drop out" when they really shouldn't, but they do.  Colleges don't really care as long as you have a good ACT/SAT, good transcript, and good application.  But usually homeschoolers show more maturity, study skills, organization, and are more goal-oriented.  The military gives homeschoolers the same opportunities as highschool graduates, some of which are closed to GED's.

Answer 4

I've considered taking GED but eventually went for an online high school that gives high school diploma. I've enrolled in Keystone National High School.

It gives you freedom to get a real HS diploma on your own pace, your time, your place. It leaves you time to pursue other things - a job, volunteer service, internship, travel, etc.

Some courses you can finish in two months and advance to the next level once you finish a course. You can finish all four English requirements in a year if you want to.

Look into Keystone, they allow you to enroll any time of the year, no minimum or maximum number of subjects you can take at a time.

THe previous posters were right. If you are looking into advancing into college, you get a higher chance with a real HS diploma. More scholarships are also given to home schooled students than those with GEDs.

But if you are in a hurry, have a deadline or needs a GED as a job requirement, then GED is your best option.

Talk it over with a guidance counselor, your parents, admissions counselor, etc.
