Enrollment and transfer evaluation process

[AverageAlien]

Hello all. Originally I was planning on attending WGU and am currently taking classes through Sophia to rack up credits. I’m now considering UMPI BLS program because it looks like you can transfer in a lot more credits and it’s more flexible. With WGU it was pretty straightforward what classes to take at Sophia and then send transcripts and enroll. My question with UMPI is, is it best to finish all the Sophia classes first and then apply to UMPI, or apply first and then send transcripts once finished with Sophia courses? I’ve just heard stories that UMPI sometimes isn’t the best at responding and it can take a while to enroll. I guess I don’t want to be in a situation where I’ve completed all my Sophia courses, then I apply and end up sitting around waiting for months on UMPI. I’d rather preemptively apply so I’m ready to go if that makes sense. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
