Rejected by WGU. Looking for Opinions

[ajs1976]

The only red flag to me is that WGU is so quick to point out to go to Straighterline for credit and then come back. In my field, property management, that's called "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" and I see this type of action all the time. I also have certifications that I achieved that used the same structure of education and that is was made me gravitate towards WGU to begin with(CPM, CCIM, RPA, FMA, LEED AP). Its just WGU doesn't accept any of them towards credit.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not taking offense to any of this but after 15+ years of being in a field where you see these types of things all the time, you go looking for a second opinion. I actually have Comp I and Algebra in a cart on straighterline right now lol.

I see where you are coming from when looking at the straighterline recommendation. Maybe there is some of that or maybe there isn't. From a practical point of view applying for SL is easy, you can start the class almost immediately, and finish it as fast as you can but if you go to a community college the application is more time consuming, you may not be able to start a class until summer sessions in May and then you wouldn't finish until late July or early August.

Did you ask about CBE options?

The WGU programs have very detailed requirements and little if any room for general or free electives which limits the possibility of accepting outside credentials that do not fit neatly into the requirements. This is one of the reasons I decided to enroll at COSC instead of WGU.
