Excellent! Which track are you going for?

Nice! That should be an exciting one.

I got an email pulling my acceptance to the program.
I now have to sit for Calculus, STEM, and English tests to move on. Despite having these in my college transcript including Calc.

You will need to demonstrate:
- High level understanding of the English Language
- Ability to decipher bias and tone via text.
- High level understanding of linear algebra
- Mastery of Graphing in Pre-Calculus.
Before you can move onto further steps now. They do not care if you already demonstrated those in the transcripts or the past. You have to do it over again for them.

That's pretty ridiculous. A transcript, especially a recent transcript, should be more than sufficient to prove that you have those skills.

Yeah. I Tried talking with their program manager. Didn't go over so well. They're like "no you have to do these". I told her I have the skills, etc, I don't want to sit for entire tests etc.
They're asking for over 50x the data that UMPI asked for as well. They want everything about you. Passport, ID's, full birth certificate, social security, a credit statement, previous background checks, full employer checks, they asked me for an employer recommendation for the program, full college transcripts, high school transcripts, etc. They're asking for a lot .
I have feel like this is just an NSA data harvesting project to show how gullible Americans are.

I have feel like this is just an NSA data harvesting project to show how gullible Americans are. They didn't ask me for anywhere near all of that.
Also, the placement tests were only a few hour inconvenience.

Can you send me a screenshot of your requirements? Did you do the artificial intelligence path. I want to ask why mine are different.
