ACE or DETC credit on an Excelsior transcript, how would it look for grad school?

[Ace_King]

My question is.. when I finally graduate from Excelsior. I was wondering how a potential grad school might look at the transcript and notice some of my courses we're from "Penn Foster College" and realize it's ACE reviewed. I know Excelsior provides a grade for Penn Foster ACE courses. But, do grad schools want all the 120 credits from an RA school? Will the grad school know that Penn Foster College on the transcript is a NA school? I wouldn't call it..DETC credit on a transcript, even though I know EC accepts 30 credits from an DETC school. But Excelsior is accepting the courses because they are ACE reviewed.

Last question heh.. Now I know some certain grad schools want one transcript from the school you finished at, others want all the transcripts you attended. Not including some of my community college credits, concentrating on again Penn Foster College. When I send my Penn Foster transcript will they freak out, knowing it's a NA school? Even though the final transcript at Excelsior is a RA transcript from an RA school, would they still accept the PF work?

Honestly, it's all going to vary by the school as to what they want, 120 RA credits or just an RA degree. My school, U of IL Springfield, rejected someone who had an EC degree because he had used professional IT certs to gain credits, whereas someone else on another board was accepted to the U of FL under similar circumstances with a COSC degree.

I've never heard of a school not wanting all transcripts. So, all you can do is send in the PF transcript and see what happens. Good luck.
