I was hesitant to go there about the "drop out" assumption. I knew somebody here would have a GED

It shouldn't be a negative. A lot of us here have tested out of college credits. Why not High School? But people will judge and it has to be considered. Look at the constant debate between brick & mortar vs online vs testing out. I have no illusions that my online/test out degree will have the rep of the local state school. We just do the best we can and go with what we got.
