RE: TESU degree plan - bjcheung77 - 01-25-2023
Hello Halloweenbday! Haha, a few people here have the same birthday as you, one of our moderators actually do as well... Anyways, it seems you've applied to a few schools recently, it's best to get an academic evaluation from each of them so you know where you stand. I briefly reviewed your previous thread here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-help-me-make-a-degree-plan-please
Just skimming through both that previous thread and this one, I think you'll be a good candidate for the UMPI BAS instead of the BLS as you have technical credits, having a BAS ladders your AAS better. You can also try applying to Excelsior and see how your credits land as well, both Excelsior and UMPI have free applications, do them quickly as you want to review your evaluations and see which one you prefer.
Last but not least, if you already have an evaluation from the institutions you have applied to including TESU, you want to link us to that evaluation. Save a PDF or screenshot without your personal info and store it on your google drive or one drive, post that link as a reply and set it to viewable (not editable) so we can comment on it and provide extra advice. If you can add anything more to your reply, the better since you didn't complete the template/last post addendum from here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works

I can second (or third) the advice to choose alt credit over PLA. I did a lot of PLA because when I went to TESU, there weren't alt credit choices for most of the CS AOS. Doing an online course, especially one that is mostly multiple choice tests, is MUCH easier than writing a portfolio for TESU. Add on having to take (and pay for) the PLA courses and it becomes even less attractive.
There's a link in my signature to a thread about people's experience with PLA if you still want to know more.
