Once you get a certain number of credits, any problem with your H.S. diploma will likely become moot. I'd consider going to community college. I would think it wouldn't be that hard to find one that will let you enroll. Once you have a couple of years' worth of credits, I'm confident that you could apply as a transfer student almost anywhere. Some of them have GED programs as well, but I'm not sure you need it. The Big 3 are a great option if you are ready to do a lot of testing and online classes, but if you need a more traditional learning environment, it's hard to beat your local community college in bang for the buck.

The only stumbling block I would worry about is if your H.S. diploma isn't sufficient to qualify for financial aid, then you may well have to get that GED.
