I'm 22, currently going to CC in Seattle, WA. I only have 25 credits (quarter credits which would be 16-point-something semester credits) and I'm getting very sick of community college and want to fast track my education. Something I'm sure a lot of you could relate too.
I've always tested exceptionally well, and my entire senior year of high school I completed in about a month through BYU Independent Study (distance learning). When I heard about CLEP testing I checked to see if my CC offered credit for it, which they don't. Then I began researching and came across the "big three".
SO now I'm considering transferring to one of the "big three", to test out of a lot of my credits and fast track through my BA (probably doing poly sci, but maybe even history or psych).
Heres my dilemma, it seems they all offer basically the same thing? I would choose TESC because the name to me sounds better than Excelsior, sounds more legit. TESC also seems pretty flexible with classes whereas COSC is scheduled... BUT I am wary of this recently proposed Rutgers merger with TESC, anybody know what the deal is with the proposed merger and what this would mean for a new student? Maybe this is the wrong time to transfer to TESC?
Advice? Experiences? Thank You
I'm glad I found this forum of people who are actually students, can't wait to start utilizing this and contributing here if I enroll in one of the "big three"
