I just received my official evaluation from Excelsior and I'm done!
I just decided to finish my degree this last November.
Then, I knew nothing about the big 3, this community, or CLEP.
Every time I had a question or concern, people on this forum helped me immensely.
I really want to thank everyone out there!
___
Here's how I did it:
*93 credits from 3 different B&M schools (I left school about 3 years ago due to financial issues).
*7 CLEPs in just a few months for a total of 30 credits (passed all on first attempt).
-Social Sciences and History (61)
-History of US I (58)
-History of US II (58)
-Analyzing Literature (65)
-Humanities (53)
-Human Growth and development (56)
-Educational Psychology (60)
*Information Literacy through Penn Foster (100% score - an 'A' grade calculated into my GPA!)
___
My degree:
*BS in Liberal Studies with an area of focus in communications and a depth in psychology.
*3.31 GPA
*Degree conferral: May 21, 2010
__
Next steps:
*Commencement in Albany in July (hopefully)!
*Moving to New York City in May! Anyone know of any jobs in news/media/production or a cheap room to rent?!
*Grad school in the future, I'm 25 years old now, I might wait a year or so and save up money for it.
__
Best to everyone! Much love!
