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

""but you still have to pay for the courses you're transferring in  
yeah, with Modern States and Sophia the costs of the transfers may not be huge, but even if it's just $50 per credit that's $5700 and even if its just $20 a credits its $2280 
then you still have to pay for the 6 credits at TESU which is $3000"

Ugh this is getting more and more expensive...I'm so new to all this. I'm not aware there is a $50 per credit transfer cost? Is it TESU or Sophia that is charging that? Would I have to pay that per transfer cost too if I'm transferring credits to WGU instead of TESU? How likely would one be able to finish roughly 32 credit hours in 1 WGU term/6 month?

If you're going with TESU, I'm guesstimating $7500-$10k depending on where you get your credits, how long it takes, etc.  For instance, for your RA credit: if you have free Community College in your state, you can get your 24cr of RA there for nothing.  If you use ONU it will cost $$50/cr x 24cr = $1200.

For your alt-credit: if you use ModernStates.org for CLEP, those will all be free (voucher for free exams plus reimbursement for $30 test center fees); if you do Study.com at a slow pace, it will cost a lot more.

It REALLY just depends.

If you are seriously worried about costs, you probably should switch to UMPI.  That will be your cheapest route if you can bring in 90cr, and do the last 30cr there in 1-2 terms.
