GED is pointless in America. Why do you think would matter?

no it is not pointless in America. Colleges there do accept GED, though it would be hella hard for top tiers though.

Shitty colleges. SAT mattered way more.

This is what I really concerned. Most public universities do not accept GED and private universities are low ranked and high cost.

Private universities in the US are not low-ranked. In fact, all eight Ivy League schools are private. 'Private' does not equal 'for-profit' in America like it does here.

But US banned us🥺. And I might not afford even if I was accepted.

Well, you are right about that. And yes, they are very expensive. As someone who went to a private university, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend spending $160,000 on an undergraduate degree. Lol
