1 More question please :)

Ok so I have researched and researched the big 3 and I just about thought I had my mind made up about applying at TESC.... and then I learned TESC does not award Latin honor distinctions (ie: cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude). I think this is important not just for personal reasons but for grad schools as well. EC does award Latin honors so I am thinking they should be my #1.

From their site:

"Baccalaureate Degrees (Latin Honors)

Cum Laude 3.5 – 3.74
Magna Cum Laude 3.75 – 3.89
Summa Cum Laude 3.9 and above

Baccalaureate graduates who have earned at least 60 graded credits are eligible for Academic Honors designation. All graded credits that are applied toward the degree, including transfer credit will be taken into account when calculating the overall GPA."

I will be transferring 85 graded credits mostly A's, a couple B's and a couple C's from back in the day. If I choose EC I and retest on the classes that I have C's in and replace those with "credit" correct? Then my GPA remains built on A's and B's and whatever future coursework is required correct? This is seeming like a better plan since I really want to pursue grade school. BUT... EC also assigns grades on their course equivalency tests correct? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? as far as the BSBA at EC how much of it can one test out of?

I guess my question is... It seems TESC doesn't award honors but it is easier to get and maintain a 4.0 where as EC does award honors but because everything is graded maybe getting and keeping a high GPA for those coveted honors distinctions might be harder... true?

What do guy guys think... And what is the story with OCSC and honors? I wasn't able to find very much on the subject. Thanks all!
