Hey san. I am looking to go full-time, even if it means me having to stop working. It just makes more sense from what I have seen. I can sacrifice a couple of months and have a Bachelors and open the doors to more interviews/jobs rather than drag it out.

Out of curiousity, how many credits did you try to get TESC to transfer and which ones did they not accept? Thanks for your information.

You're going to have to complete at least 24 credits to get the full grant. TESC courses are 12 weeks long. You probably won't be able to handle more than 4 courses at a time. The grant won't cover the entire tuition; you'll need a loan.

TESC didn't accept 4 of my courses. Two were duplicates because when I went to Axia College (which was at WIU and not University of Phoenix at the time), I took two writing courses that were not called English Comp. Colorado Technical University made me take Comp classes again and that created the duplicate at TESC because they accepted Axia's writing courses as Eng Comp I and II. They also didn't accept the two math courses I took at Axia College because they aren't at the college level. Axia College made everyone take basic math and a remedial algebra course regardless of the person's actual math level. I'm pretty mad about that because each course was $795 at the time. I had decent SAT scores and I had to waste $1590 on remedial math courses that can't be transferred anywhere.

I have taken no upper level courses and TESC gave me 15 upper level credits. I applied to all of the Big 3 schools and TESC gave me the best deal by a mile. Of course, things are different when you aren't transferring credits because you can take the specific tests you know the school will accept.
