My background:
Pre-2014
- 98th percentile on SAT at age 15
- Admitted to a 4 year Univ at age 15 (MD)
- Academic dismissal at age 16 (0.0 GPA - Lack of attendance)
- Failed first attempt at Community College (0.2 GPA - Lack of attendance)
[2 year international volunteering break]
2014-Today
Age: 23
- Second attempt at Community College (4.0 GPA) [1 semester remaining]
[At this point, I went to see a psychologist to see if anything was wrong with me which resulted in a battery of tests]
- Tests led to Mensa membership and to some answers regarding my previous failures. (2015)
My questions:
Right now, I'm trying to find a way to deal with my past when it comes to getting a good education. I'm also looking around for potential ways to speed up my education, considering the fact that I am already 23.
1/ I'm going to have a hard time getting into a good Univ for the rest of my undergrad because of my history as a failing student. Would a GMAT score help?
2/ Is it possible for someone in my situation to skip Junior/Senior and get into a Grad school if I get a high GMAT grade?
3/ What are your most recommended exam workouts/prep books, and would there be any way for someone such as myself to take a full length practice GMAT (not online)?
(Please note that I do not have access to a Univ GMAT prep program, and that three community college advisors gave me conflicting responses on all three questions).
Thanks!

Hi LynxRx,
You're ultimately describing a complex Admissions issue, so you might find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your situation. While these Experts are MBA (and general Grad School) Admissions Experts, they might be able to offer some insight into your situation. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
I don't believe that a GMAT score will make any difference in your attempts to get into an Undergraduate Program. Perhaps taking some specific Courses (such as Calculus or Statistics) at a Community College or Extension Program and earning high grades could help to convince a School that you are committed to the process and prepared to face the work that you'll be asked to do.
Without a full Undergrad GPA and Work Experience, I don't think that you'll find many Programs that would accept you under the conditions that you describe (but there are always exceptions).
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
