I have a group of teens I am currently trying to help with finishing HS and gaining college credits. This is really perfect for getting them to look at college options.
I love the original post, and agree that we should create a sticky for it at the top. Maybe change the title to "Schools that take 90cr of transfer and ACE" or something like that?
Agreed. Done and done.

That is a bit of a loaded statement. Degree planning for WGU can actually be more straightforward and predictable than TESU in some ways since the list of credits they accept changes less frequently and transfer equivalencies are published and updated quickly when they do change. You can easily transfer in the max available credits for your degree if you're using credit providers that have articulation agreements with WGU (such as Study.com and Straighterline) and you stick to the courses that have established transfer equivalencies.
Of course, if you're trying to transfer courses from other colleges or alternative ACE providers, then yes, it can be a bit of hit or miss. It is important to understand that a transfer course will not always fulfill the same competencies as a WGU course just because it is similarly-named. This is usually what gets most people upset when they don't see the credits they expect.
The other rub is that WGU has some odd courses that are fairly unique to the school and are very unlikely to be transferred in. I just add those to the list of nontransferable credits for the degree when coming up with the list of courses to take.
