Is excelsior still the quickest and cheapest?

Can I take any Sophia classes that Excelsior will give credit for or do I need specific ones?
I would recommend taking all the courses that can transfer to Excelsior and on the transfer link I have above and below.

Someone said that Excelsior is no longer accepting comp 1 and 2 from Sophia is that true?  
Verify with Excelsior after you apply and have an advisor: Here's a list of Sophia.org options for Excelsior: Sophia

By my calculation, if I took every Sophia class I can that's on Excelsior's list excluding calc and programming, that would give me 92 credits so I'd just have to get the other 21 from somewhere.  

You basically want to take up to a max of 90 lower level credits, having a couple or more credits should be fine.  You need 30 Upper Level credits, 3 from your cornerstone and 3 from your capstone at Excelsior.  Choose your UL courses wisely using mainly Study.com or another provider.

I just want to make sure, I'm not wasting time taking things I don't need to or that won't be counted. 
No worries, I skimmed through that link I have and scanned the number of courses, you have at least 33 courses and up to 99 credits to transfer, you just need to email your advisor and make sure all 99 can be transferred and those 9 extra credits are upper level.  

Thanks everyone!
