No worries, you may want to 'explain' to them your AS is similar to an AAS and see if you can get switched from the BLS to the BAS... It's worth a shot as you have so many 'technical' credits already, otherwise, a BAS/BLS with any minor or two, including the 3-4 classes that go towards the MAOL would work for you.
