I started my long journey on May 23rd last year. I was enrolled at Adelphi and finished my bachelor's in social sciences in less than one year. Besides being in college, I needed 4 CLEPs. I failed my first, passed 3 and took an online course for college Algebra. I'm happy I'm done with those- believe me, they're harder than studying for a test at my school. I took the NYU language test in French and got 12 credits. Today I got my grade in Capstone, my last class. My gpa is a 3.9!! Thanks everybody for your help in this journey -especially CLEP101 & HORSEMANIAC: you know I couldn't have done it without you!
My next journey is a 2nd bachelor's (from LIU) which will be done in 2 years. Can't wait to post my next I'M DONE
