I completely disagree. If you want to apply to all 3, great. BUT, you need to base your choice on how much it will cost to COMPLETE YOUR DEGREE! If TESU takes 30cr and EC takes 60cr, that means nothing if it will cost $4000 to complete the degree at TESU and $8000 to complete it at EC.
Always decide based on the future and not the past!
Money is just one factor of many. Time to complete, cost, degree major are all important factors. My time is money also. Apply to all three as until they tell you its all guessing! I did apply to all three and I am glad I did. I got the "degree major" I wanted (HSEM) with the fewest credits needed (4 SH) and in one term (time savings). The cost was only the third item of importance! I would have taken the best deal for me from any of the three of the Big 3. Sadly, COSC did not have an HSEM degree but I wanted to know in general from them and I did also apply to them. Excelsior and TESU both have HSEM degrees. TESU wanted 27 more credits and EC only 4 SH for the same degree. I would have never known if I had not applied to all 3. I would have paid Excelsior 3-times the cost as my time is valuable. Everyone is different! Don't limit yourself as you do have three excellent choices in the Big 3.
