I had a collection of courses from different community colleges to transfer, and I didn't know whether EC would take my computer programming courses because they were so old. (This was for liberal arts.) So, I came up with a conservative estimate on what they might transfer. I used the charts in the catalog for Liberal Arts (for the BS and BA requirements, on page 24 and 26, I think) to build a spreadsheet. I looked up what categories my transfer credits (minus the programming courses) probably fell into, and then I estimated what I needed.
Because I wasn't going to have more than 40 credits transferred, that still left a lot to take. Doing Arts & Science and Applied Professional electives gave me a lot to start with. I could have started on my major, but as I knew I'd want to take the Psychology GRE, I didn't do much with that.
Of course, I'm very OCD and so I manage ever single thing in an enormous Excel workbook (courses, costs, credits, exam possibilities) that would probably scare my advisor, so when it got close to the time when I needed to get some guidance, I created a simplified spreadsheet to send to him. That's what I'm now waiting on for review.
Oh, and as far as me getting my evaluation quickly...I don't know if it happened more quickly because there was an issue with my enrollment that I was pursuing, because they were getting a flood of CLEP/DSST transcripts on me, or the phase of the moon. Who knows? But right now it is graduation season, so I expect it to be slow.
