I applied to one masters program and a few doctoral programs. None of them wanted to see CLEP/DSST scores. I sent the CLEP/DSST scores to the masters program because it was the first time I had applied to a graduate program. They sent me an email saying that I would be awarded undergraduate credits for U.S. History, Psychology, etc. Basically, they thought I sent the scores because I was looking to transfer into an undergraduate program. From then on, I have not sent CLEP/DSST scores. I believe they're only important if they were used to meet prerequisites.

When I applied to Johns Hopkins University, they did not ask anything of the sort. They only wanted my transcripts to reflect that I got at least a B average, that my personal narrative was satisfactory, and that I had all my other ducks in a row. No GRE sorting, nothing like that at all. Harvard Extension is like that, as well. So, if you strategically choose a grad school, you can get into a big name one like Hopkins or Harvard and pay a fraction of the cost and have the name go a long way for you.

Hi Everyone, I have a similar question about Excelsior exams (ECE). They show as "transfer" credit in my school versus the DSST exam was marked "test". Did your graduate school request Excelsior transcripts and were the exam letter grade factored into your GPA for grad school? The grade did not count against my GPA now, but I'm curious how graduate schools view them.
Thanks!

Georgia Tech didn't. I only sent them transcripts from actual schools that grant credit, in my case CC, TESU, and a University Extension I took some professional courses at. It's possible I didn't need the last one, I was being cautious as a lot of people were reporting having their registration frozen over missing transcripts.

Corpsole2 - I have been meaning to ask you. I see you went/ go to Hopkins. What was the admissions process like for you? I noticed in your signature most of your classes are from Straighterline and DSST exams. Did you just submit your TESU transcripts? or did you have to forward Straighterline grades? etc. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
