Excelsior BLS & GREs - blu2blu - 05-21-2010
Greetings!
I am currently awaiting TESC evaluators to wave their magic wand and bless the credits in my signature, awarding my AAS. In the meantime I am planning my next move.
I am thinking that ECs BS in Liberal Studies will be the most flexible option for me given all my professional/applied ACE credits. I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone could help with.
I am thinking of taking a couple of GREs to knock out the depth requirements (I know about the current GRE policy debacle). From what I understand so far a 55th percentile score will knock out a depth area, a 65th will get me an area of focus, and an 80th will get me a major. Ill obviously shoot for the highest score possible. Do those numbers sound right?
I was also wondering, is there is a list of "approved" depth or focus areas? I would like to take the computer science and psychology GREs. I know psychology fits nicely into a depth, focus, or major but what would EC call computer science? Would that test work for a depth, focus, or major?
Would my Information Systems CLEP listed below knock out the EC requirement for Information Literacy?
Thanks for all your help! I could not come as far as I have without the help of this forum and the IC flashcards.

Good luck whichever route you go!
