I am nervous about doing the distance degree. I applied to Excelsior (BSL) after alot of deep thought. I mailed in my 2 official transcripts,printed application, and $75 check in one envelope to EC last week. They were VERY quick to process my app. but, they sent me an email this morning that there is a hold on my admission because one of my transcripts was missing. I am 100% sure that I included everything in 1 package. I called and politely explained and they said they'd look around for it.
I think I may also apply to Charter Oak, but I didn't feel like waiting until next summer to have my diploma in hand (they only award degrees once a year). TESC is probably not an option because of $$$$$ (enrollment fee). I dont get financial aid.
I am really bummed. Should I send in another loose official transcript or wait until the "lost" one is found? Anybody out there with a similar experience?

Well what I would do is proably send another copy of the transcripts to them certified! To make sure they are in hand.

Ask yourself- is THIS is going to be the brick wall that derails your goals and dreams for yourself? It's a pretty short wall. Resend the transcripts and be prepared for many bumps and bruises along the way.

Chica,
You can TOTALLY DO IT!!! This forum is full of us who are just like you. The people here are not exceptional, (well....
) Really. The difference between someone who has a degree and who doesn't is persistence. That's it. One credit at a time, don't stop, keep going, keep chopping away. Testing is a way to jump start your "credit burning machine" and make huge strides in very short time.
Stopping = no degree
Not stopping = degree
See, it's simple!
Welcome back to not stopping!!
