Confusing chat with TESU's admission

[udi]

Yes, but not so much for that reason since the advisor won't help much with alternative credit. The reason to go ahead and apply is to lock in the current catalog against future changes. If you do it right now, you'll be on the current 2019a catalog instead of the new 2019/2020 catalog that will start July 1. Also, you can start sending transcripts and see where courses really apply in your academic evaluation.

What's the difference between the 2019a catalog and 2019/2020? Should I apply now? I didn't think anything was changing.

That's the unknown, Udi. Things change. There is no guarantee as to which requirements apply to you other than being enrolled.

Oh, no. If I ask them whether there are any changes to the B.A. in Computer Science for the new catalog do you think they'll tell me the truth?

I don't think anyone is going to LIE to you.

You know how when you go to a carnival or fair, and you walk past the games, the carnival guy is calling after you to come and play?  That's an admissions advisor.  They have 1 job.

You're asking questions of them that they are *at best* only moderately qualified to answer. They aren't doing anything wrong, it's just that you're not going to ge tthe kind of help you're asking for from them.

This board is the perfect place to get those kinds of questions answered, especially since so many here are enrolled or have earned degrees at TESU.  In my experience, the less you have to interact with TESU staff, the better.

I'm worried about this because it seems like things never get better for students -- only worse.
