I'm just curious... I may be opening up a whole new can of worms here... But...
Wouldn't you make sure everything is in order well and prior to when you're looking to graduate?
I realize one of the big draws to the Big Three is the fact that you can get pretty much everything done as far as their requirements for graduation with a degree before even talking to them about applying/enrolling. But is there a reason to leave everything (especially official evals) to the last minute at places that are known to have various levels of internal miscommunications, as well as base your future on the experiences of random internet people who may have done or gone through something similiar in the past?
I thought the number one mantra around here was 'Make sure you check with your school to make sure!' when it comes to to what the schools may take or how they may handle these credit situations?
I love this forum. I do. People go out of their way to be helpful and provide direction and insight. (And I myself have tried to do so as well...) But if I get conflicting information or there might be the slightest question about how something I'm doing will impact my degree, you can be darned sure that I'm not only going to the school itself for the final answer, but I'm getting it in writing from them ahead of time. The one time I didn't do this, I ended up taking an extra ALEKs course that I didn't have to take. I got off lucky. But then again, I'm also not planning on graduating for another 4 months.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
