Long Time Lurker, Looking For Second Opinions

[mog538]

Wow KayV, that is awesome, thank you so much! I have started the application process and will get a copy of my ECE evaluation forwarded onto TESC and see what they say.

I thought you might like to see an alternative plan that could be completed entirely with Straighterline classes except the Capstone, since I'm not really sure about your access to Saylor/ PF/ etc. This is for a BA in Natural Science and Mathematics at TESC. You could fill up the free electives with 5 SL business classes if your ultimate goal is an MBA.

KayV, thank you again for these plans. I really like this one as being able to complete as many other courses through straighterline works well for me. I was wondering if/how you would suggest I show that plan to the admissions people at TESC. I imagine without any guidance they might not suggest as much of the degree fulfilled with my existing credits as you have?

[KayV]

I have never dealt with admissions at TESC, but I would let them come up with their own evaluation, then ask for approval to move things around or fulfill degree requirements listed above as needed. Don't want them to get a burr under the saddle, as it were.

[mog538]

Sounds like a good idea! I will proceed gently! Thank you again, for all your help, I am really excited to kick on with that plan!

Hi mog538,

I too transferred a lot of credits from Scotland and ended up completing the BA in Natural Science and Mathematics at TESC last year - looks like you are really close to that too.

Good luck with your decision!

[mog538]

Hi AlbaTiVo, congratulations on the BA and thank you for the encouragement, I am pretty excited about being (hopefully) closer to the "finishing line" than I thought!

Did you have any problems with tranfer of credit or anything else I should be aware of?

[AlbaTiVo]

I used WES rather than ECE, but everything transferred fine. The only issue I ran into was that one of my Scottish transcripts was missing a class so I had to have that resent to WES. It didn't hold me up though as I knew where the class would fit on on my plan once it was updated.

[mog538]

Alba, that's great news, hopefully my transfer goes smoothly also. I did have to email ECE as I have some classes missed also. Hopefully will hear back from them tomorrow now that the holiday period is over.

KayV,

I was just going over the degree plan you put together for me and I was wondering about this section: 15. (2 hours of mathematics from IPS move to gen ed electives)

I don't understand what it references, could you explain what IPS stands for and where those 2 credits move to/from please.

Thanks
