Hey, all! I am planning to graduate in march from TESU with a BA SS and was just looking at my academic eval. HOLY CRAP do I have a lot of lower level credits!!! Too many 100's it feels like. By the time I finish, I'll only have 21 (maybe 24) UL credits. I just started my fall 2017 MSW applications and I'm wondering if this is gonna look bad to grad school admissions. Like maybe I didn't challenge myself enough? I was just about to start studying for DSST Criminal Justice and General Anthropolgy. Now I'm wondering if I should take some more UL social science Uexcel exams instead, although I'd really rather not...
What do you guys think?

When I did my BA SS from TESU, they used to count 200 and above as upper level. I have TONS of lower level too. I don' tknow if it will be an issue for you, but it wasn't in my case. Follow your instinct though, and if you think you want more challenging courses, do it! Doing hard things is good for us

I'm willing to bet there are a LOT of students who have a ton of LL credits - too much time spent at CC's, before they got their acts together to apply to a 4-yr school (either because of money, or because they just didn't know what they wanted to be when they grew up). I can't imagine that it will be a problem as long as you graduated from a 4-yr college and had the required number of UL courses they required.

I don't think it'll matter. Many graduate with little to no graded courses which can become problematic for some schools. I think you're in a good position.
