Great, after all the TESC bashing, NOW I finally read some good things! I originally went with EC just to save a few bucks (as a NY resident) but I find them becoming more and more rigid over what they will accept, transfer, etc (won't accept FEMA's, won't accept the new ACE UL DSST's, etc). Seems like they are getting money hungry to me which is what turned me off to school in the 1st place. Money and red tape. Anyway, enough of my venting. I'm thinking about TESC for a few reasons. It will cost me about $1000 more but I think I will save some of that in time and money because they will accept more credits (they take D's supposedly from my B&M transcript), they take FEMA's, they count CLEPS which means I can bang out the easier ones instead of busting my butt on UL's like Soviet Union and Money and Banking DSST's.
Any opinions? It definitely will cost a little more but I counted too much on doing well on the Psych GRE for EC credits and that isn't looking so hot. Wouldn't matter at TESC since they don't accept it anyway. Could I conceiveably replace that with FEMAs?
I appreciate any opinions anyone might have. I am glad I went with EC and got the process started but maybe TESC was actually a better alternative for me. I do like that it's a state school, even if that state is New Jersey! hahaha, j/k, it's a New York thing.
Thanks and best.
