Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[sanantone]

Oh Boy! I hope this forum doesn't start playing the "my school is better than yours" nonsense. I fully support anyone's decision on which one is best FOR THEM. I orignally had a degree plan and was ready to hit the send button on my application to COSC. I delayed and ended up finding out that TESC met my degree requirements better since they accepted my business cleps as upper level and accepted my CCAF credit as upper level Management credit. This worked out for ME, but I won't go claiming either one is better than the other.

Everyone, I'm sure Kitten Mitten's meant to post "Why COSC is better than TESC for ME".

Kitten (love Sunny by the way), try to understand that people take where they went to school personal. You had some good points which was completely lost when you indirectly attacked the school choice of members on here. COSC can be much cheaper and better for some students, excelsior for others and TESC for the rest, and (surprise), a non-Big 3 school may be a better choice for others.

Good luck, and get that degree done!

Exactly. I applied to all of the Big 3, and TESC ended up being the best choice for me even before the Per Credit Tuition Plan existed. I had a lot of credits to transfer in that got more favorable treatment at TESC. The other two schools have been better choices for others because they have different situations. That's why members here often recommend applying to all of the Big 3 if you can afford it and have a significant number of credits to transfer.

Someone should go into your wiki entry and correct some of the inaccuracies. It is easy to tell which DSSTs, CLEPs, Straighterline courses, and TECEPs are upper level because everything that is coded 3XX or 4XX is upper level. TESC gives you the exact prefix and numerical code that will be applied.
