 I work at a major university in NC and students with GED's are accepted without any problems as long as their SAT score is high enough. SVC is correct GEDs are very very hard and thus are given total respect.

 The GED is very very hard. Harder than high school....
Is there a magnet school that you can transfer to that can help you? they have those here in my state trying to keep kids from dropping out.
You sound like you need way more support than the school system is currently providing. Go to the school and ask the guidance counselor for help to find a better fit for school.

 If you think you can make it through, it's always better to repeat a year and finish high school. It will be much harder to get into a university with a GED than with a diploma. Just make sure you go, work your butt off, do well and everything else will sort itself out. Everyone makes mistakes, but an even bigger mistake would be not finishing high school when you still have the chance to.
