We're all in general agreement, I think. It can be a good way to go if it works for you and you plan your courses carefully. Someone who just dives in because they think that will be easiest (kinda like I did) may end up spending more than they could have. I haven't really regretted it as it got me to the finish line, but I wasted part of my comprehensive year doing my PLA portfolios when I should have done everything else, then finished them afterward. It caused me to have to pay the capstone tuition separately, mostly because I didn't simply didn't know I could have taken it sooner. Also, I was very unsure of the PLA process and not knowing was kind of eating at my soul.
I wasn't active here while I actually did it, so I winged it.
