Isn't WGU a no brainer choice for CS Bachelor? Why did so many people choose TESU?

I see. But I don't understand why is it hard to transfer in the max 90 credits? Isn't it as simple as matching the courses in the WGU curriculum to the official credit transfer list of WGU and Sophia/Study/Saylor, fill in the missing ones with qualified IT certifications on the list then I should be able to transfer the 110 credits on this list? https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/BSCS.aspx  . I looked through that whole list and was able to find a matching course/transfer for all. Am I getting this all wrong?

You won't be able to transfer in 110 credits to WGU. They cap you at 90.. You also have to really look and see what classes they will accept. It's rare that you can transfer in 90 credits because they don't have many gen eds and many of their classes for the specific programs are very specific. They don't allow transfer classes for many classes. They have a list of what is acceptable where you'll see how many cannot be transferred in.

TESU uses ProctorU which is a live proctor. Connection issues can hamper having a good experience during the test. When I did Medical Terminology to test out the experience for myself, I could barely hear the proctors, the proctors didn't have the right password to access the TESU exam, and I kept getting kicked out of the proctor system. It was not a fun experience.

Study.com uses a recorded video proctor (RPNow). You don't have to talk to anyone. You scan your ID, you scan your room (to prove you don't have any cheating materials on your walls), and then you get recorded while you take the exam. This video gets uploaded to the RPNow system to be reviewed later. Ideal for slower connections where you have enough bandwidth to upload but not enough to sustain a video call.

I'm not sure what proctor WGU uses but I think it's all live proctoring. I think that (some of) the exams have the option to use a local proctor center instead of doing the exam in your own home, though?

WGU uses Examity. On several of their Facebook groups, there are posts daily about issues with those proctors. No, everyone doesn't always have a problem, but it's waaaay to often.

RPNow sounds like the best way to proctor! Even at LSU we have Examity for proctoring which is not what was I told when I applied. We have open book exams so I don't know why we have proctors.
