I have been waiting about six weeks. I got accepted into TESU instantly, but I'm still waiting on my UMPI and TESU credit evaluations. I know that both schools have received all of my transcripts. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
~96 semester credits obtained from community college (majored in accounting)
CLEPs taken: Introductory Psychology and Introductory Sociology
11cr from Sophia (so far)
Pursuing my Bachelors at UMPI or TESU (waiting on transfer assessment)

At UMPI, transcripts are evaluated just before you begin your first time. They're not evaluated as part of admissions. You'll be accepted without them being evaluated for transfer credit.

Gotcha. I think it'll take another week or two for UMPI. I got my acceptance letter from UMPI and completed the signup process.
I got my CC transcript evaluation from TESU yesterday. Very relieved to see that most of my CC credits are accepted and have a course equivalency at TESU. Most local universities here are iffy about CC credit (particularly from AAS-T programs as opposed to AAS-DTA ones), which left me feeling discouraged for some time. It put me off of transferring and acquiring my bachelor's degree. I feel a lot more motivated now knowing that my work will be put to use.
I am still on the fence about attending TESU or UMPI. I'll decide after receiving my academic evaluation from UMPI, meeting with TESU and UMPI advisors, and creating respective degree plans.

Both TESU and UMPI are good options.
See which option makes the most sense for you.
