It's very encouraging to hear that you've earned that much credit in that time frame.

Congratulations on your accomplishments! It's great that your hard work is paying off for you. I'm sure that your master's degree will be done before you know it!

This entire experience has seemed like a whirl-wind. I had 54 credits 9 months ago from my previous college and now I can finally say that I am a college graduate.

I thank God everyday that I found this site. I started out going to Strayer in January thinking that it was going to take me 3 years and about 20 grand to get my business degree and my advisor made the mistake (at least it was a mistake for Strayer) of telling me that I could CLEP out of some classes. I started investigating CLEP exams and I stumbled onto this site. I quickly learned that going to Strayer was a stupid move and I transfered to Excelsior and started testing. Excelsior has been awesome!!!

I really appreciate everyone that has helped me through this board. I would like to personally thank Shoto and Barcotta for the advise and help along the way. You guys are awesome.

I am already working on my MBA, so don't ask the usually "What's next?" question...Smile

Good Luck to all of those in the thick of your degree...take it one test and one class at a time and you'll be done before you know it!

Ben

Nice work. Congratulations! It was fun watching you go through the whole process. I especially enjoyed watching someone who appreciated and took pleasure in making this whole thing as economical as possible. Great job!
