Just for clarity, while SOME colleges do take a student with an associate's degree and award them perfect transfer, letting you start as a junior, the big 3 are not in that category.

All 3 will take each and every credit and individually include/exclude it based on their own criteria.  There is no advantage of obtaining an associate degree when the goal is to earn a BA at any of the big 3.  In fact, the credit distribution required to earn an associate degree at a different school will most certainly add time and money to the  process.

Indeed. I will see what PF will do. I already have an AA and certainly don't need another. Thanks for the input!
