Confusing chat with TESU's admission

[davewill]

Thank you so much. The admissions advisor told me it's better to apply for admission now so that an academic advisor can work with me on which courses to take..etc, is that a good idea?

Yes, but not so much for that reason since the advisor won't help much with alternative credit. The reason to go ahead and apply is to lock in the current catalog against future changes. If you do it right now, you'll be on the current 2019a catalog instead of the new 2019/2020 catalog that will start July 1. Also, you can start sending transcripts and see where courses really apply in your academic evaluation.
