Hi everyone,
I'm currently pursuing a Computer Science degree at the University of the People, having completed 127 credit hours, including 64 RA credit hours.
I've also earned many ACE credit hours on Sophia and Coursera. I'd like to transfer to the BGS program at East Texas A&M University.
What should I do? I've already submitted my application.

Basically, it's a waiting game, that's all you can do until they give you more details on what else you can transfer and what remains as residency credits. In other words, wait, or continue with your Coursera, and other alternative credits you're going to be taking anyways, to mix and max the certs, degree, experience trifecta.

I am confused by your question. What do you mean what should you do? Are you asking what are the next steps after applying? if so, you will receive an email. Takes a couple of weeks. Also congrats. You will love East Texas A&M, they have great customer service. I believe the General Studies has a micro internship that you have to complete, so just be aware of that. I think its pretty flexible though.

No, it's no longer necessary. They don't allow international students to join. My application was withdrawn within minutes, and I can't submit it unless I'm in the US.
