Well instacert classmates, I've thrown my hat into the TESC ring for better or for worse. They have my $75.00 and soon they'll have my transcripts too. My reasoning behind the TESC choice:
They're in-state for me (NJ Resident).
The major I want (History) is easily cleppable save for 6 credits.
They take CLEP english comp, thus saving me the horror of another grammer multiple guess test followed by a timed essay on a PC topic.
They'll take my USCG credits as free electives AND as the major for my AAS in Mechanics and Maintenance.
I'll keep ya'll posted on how everything goes down.

Padre nostro che sei nei cieli
sia santificato il tuo nome
venga il tuo regno
sia fatta la tua volontÃ
come in cielo così in terra.
Dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano
Rimetti a noi i nostri debiti
Come noi li rimettiamo ai nostri debitori.
E non ci indurre in tentazione
Ma liberaci dal male.
Amen.

@ gary - lol
excellent move steve. the BA advisors at tesc might not always give you that warm fuzzy feelin but the + side ...a state college, in state tuition and lots of test out options make it a good choice.

TESC has a store! You can buy t-shirts and other cool stuff with their logo on it. I know it's silly, but I really want a 'college' tote bag.

Shows what I know, thought it was Latin.
Well for better or worse, I too have sent in my $75.00 and transcripts to TESC. I graduated from a high school in NJ. I've got quite a few FEMAS to use as electives and don't want to waste them or the money to have them transcribed. I'm on my last few courses at local cc to get A.S. general transfer this semester, but have been testing out of a few dssts during the break between summer and fall semesters. I'm taking criminal justice tomorrow. I am also taking a 300 course through LSU that is almost complete. Should only need five more upper electives to get that BSLA. I'll keep you'll posted. T-shirts and hats, wouldn't that be something. I don't know my blood will always run "Big Orange" -- Go Vols. (UTK).
