EC Wants Me To Do 34 Credits Despite Having 100+ Credits

[Kal Di]

Do you have an associates? Where did you get these credits from? Have you applied elsewhere besides Excelsior?

I have an associate's degree in applied science (automotive technology). Most of the credits came from community colleges. A few was from Penn State University (4 year university) and the rest from online course providers (i.e. Sophia, SDC).

I applied to Texas A&M University Commerce, but they have been so slow in responding about accepting ACE credits. (I think the Credly transcript platform made things confusing for them). I submitted all my information to COSC, but I didn't pay the application fee yet. However, I think it could be my next best choice!

I strongly prefer to apply to universities who don't have an application fee. Otherwise, I'd have to face being disappointed with a university's evaluation after paying their application fee and the cost to send all my transcripts there. I wouldn't want to imagine facing that multiple times with other universities.
