Couple of points brought up in the thread that I want to quickly address...
@sanantone
First of all, regarding Info Literacy requirement. COSC does not have this, well technically they do, but taking any online class with them fulfills it. Since you have to take both the corner and capstone for a bachelors, there is no way that you wouldn't meet it.
Also, regarding TECEPs. TECEPs used to be very prohibitively expensive to non-TESC students. I believe that they've now lowered the price and it applies to anyone that wants to take it regardless of where they're enrolled.
If you already have a lot of B&M credits under your belt and can get more UL credits from TESC, it's likely worth it to go there just for this, but I have heard different things about this. I would say that if someone really can't decide between two or even three schools AND has a few extra bucks to spend, it might be worth it to pay for an eval from all three.
Overall - I loved COSC and like Shoto, I'm biased to my school ha ha. hilarious However... knowing what I know now about all of the big 3, I'm really not sure what I would choose if I had to make the decision again.

The GPA question seems to come up a lot here and my true belief is that regardless of grad school choices, no one should ever graduate without a GPA. In my experience, most job interviews don't ask much about education unless you're fresh out of school, but I would never, ever want to be in a situation where I was in an interview and couldn't answer the "what was your college GPA?" question. I think that would be a total interview killer.
