Hello, (this is my 1st post so bear with me).

I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree and applied to medical school.
I received a call back telling me that I can not be accepted because I the school I went to was only nationally accredited and not regionally accredited:mad: .
Needless to say i was and still am upset that I never knew about the difference between accreditations. The medical school said they were impressed with me but can not accept me unless I have a regional BA.
Reading up on the forum I have formulated several plans but would appreciate your input.

Plan #1: Earn 120 credits

I have 40 cr from a regionally accredited college. Take 35 Fema credits, 16 NYU Language credits, 6 Eng Clep. A total of 97 +?? credits.

Plan #2: Portfolio Assesment

Have my studies at the nationally accredited college evaluated and earn my degree. Not sure how good this option is considering I need my degree by Aug.

Possible plan #3 (hybrid of plan 1 and 2):

Use the portfolio assessment to complete the 23 credits that I still need to complete. This helps me because I do not have many upper level credits and my credits would be evaluated as upper level.


I have been amazed with what some of you have come up with and would appreciate any help
One more point I still need to earn 1 more credit in either computers or math
and would like to know the simplest way to earn the credit

Good morning,

I am new to the board and have a few questions. I am currently 9 upper level courses away from obtaining my Excelsior Liberal Arts degree. Below is a list of courses I am currently taking in order to fullfill my degree requirements. I would like to know if anyone has alternate suggestions on courses that might be more applicable / easier.

2 Courses from my local university (6 hours)

DSST-Management Information Systems
DSST-Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union
Excelsior Exam-World Population
Excelsior Exam-Human Resource Management
Excelsior Exam-Organizational Behavior
Excelsior Online Course-African American History (Using GI Bill)
Excelsior Online Course-Globalization (Using GI Bill)

I have also registered for the INL course at Excelsior. I have registered at Instacert for study purposes. Are there any other DSST tests that you migh recommend?

Thanks!

Anyone take this test? Just wondering if it was really difficult and if there were any other sources I should pay attention to.
Thanks

Hi everyone
yesterday I took the DANTES Drug and Alcohol Abuse test and know for sure I got a good amount wrong. I just totally spaced when I got to the testing center
Anyway, there were 106 questions , I was wondering if anyone knows how many I need to get right in order to pass? I won't know my results for at least 2 weeks and I am nervous.

Thanks
Alex

Okay, I am taking my first CLEP. It was suppose to be today but I felt I was not ready for it so I rescheduled it. I have been studying for a week now and I am using IC. My study plan is I will not go onto the next section of flashcards until I recieve a 100% on the prior section. The CLEP I am signed up for and going to take Wednesday is Into to Psychology. Ok, ok here is my question am I studing to much for the test. I really do not know what I really need to prepare for this test. I know in the forums everyone says that IC is enough. Should I just chill and take the test? Or keep going strong day and night!

I passed, my final 2 DSST test and I amset to graduate APril 26th (commencement is on June 2nd)! I must say thanks a million times to Instant Cert and this forum. I could not have done this without this website. I spent 2 months studying for and passing the following exams:

Drug and Alcohol Abuse on 3/9 with a score of 51
MIS on 3/9 with a score of 52
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union 51
Civil War and reconstruciton on 4/9 with a score of 47 (47 is passing whew!)

Now I know that these scores aren't great, but hey a pass is a pass, and that's all that I needed!!!

WOW, 12 upper division credits in 2 months, for a total cost of less than $400, you can't beat that!!!!!
