Just adding my two cents!!!

I would pick TESC because you are a resident of NJ so I believe what you will pay in tuition costs should be comparable to what you would at EC or COSC.

Other than that I would choose TESC because from what I've heard from others on this forum, TESC is alot more flexible than the other two aforementioned schools when it comes to upper level credits. I believe TESC uses anything 200 and up as upper level. At EC you would have to probably have to take several TECEPS/ECE exams to accomplish this goal. They are both a pretty penny when you add them all up.

I believe IMHO that the only con TESC has is that they do not accept payment plans. If it wasn't for that...I'd recruit for them the way SHOTO does for EC!!!

There is one more thing you could do if you are still on the fence about which college to choose. You could send an application in to the Big Three schools and wait for your "unofficial evaluation," which could take up to 8 weeks from what I've heard. I believe all three schools charge the exact same application fee, $75.00. I don't know how pressed you are for time but this could be a viable option. Then you wouldn't have to speculate as to how many credits you need to finish...you'd know.

Hope this info helps you some.
