Where are you Calihunter? You posted ONCE nearly ONE MONTH ago and haven't replied as of yet....

Please do not become discouraged by any postings or your lack of faith in what many of us have also had to overcome, a less than stellar beginning. Many start with zero credits while you have many more than zero - 51.

My firm advice is to come back, try again and know that you CAN and WILL succeed in attaining your degree.

Case in point, I resumed my degree journey in August 2004 (Age 45) with around 40 credits from when I was a kid. Inside of 3 years (2yrs 9mos) I completed two degree programs - my BS and MS with final GPA's of 3.11 and 3.26 respectively.

Now (just around 48 in Oct) I am considering a doctorate degree if my finances can tolerate it. I don't need it, so wanting it may not justify it.

So what do you think? You CAN and WILL do it - trust me (and many others here) it can be done and believe it or not....it was fun!!

One last thing, the bain4weeks site is both informative and entertaining but not very realistic. The concept in attaining a degree is well, plausible (ala myth-busters jargon) but not very reasonable. There are no real shortcuts to this, although IC can help you find a route with a faster speed limit. You can take the B&M side streets or the Excelsior expressway it's really up to you!!
