Need advice
#6
I haven't written degree plans for a long time, but just in general I have some feedback. You need to stop accumulating lower level credit until you pick a school/degree. Any degree from any college will require a combination of lower and upper level- you are full of lower level. You could do this yourself, but I'm going to also agree that it would be a wise investment to go ahead and pay to apply at one or more of the big 3. I don't expect the difference to be dramatic, so if you're on a budget, just pick 1 school. However, if you pick liberal arts on 1 application and business on another, that's not helpful- you need to select 1 path and go.

I know you're going to ask "but I don't care WHAT my degree is, I just want the one that uses my credits to their fullest/fastest degree." That will happen after you apply. You need to see how close you are to filling all your lower levels. I didn't look closely, but let's say you didn't take a science yet, well that's a requirement for everyone- so these holes will come up when you apply.

Finally, the cheap credit is 100/200 level. CLEP exams don't ever fill upper level, so you're going to have to find exams or classes that meet your upper level requirements- if it were me, that would be part of the criteria for choosing my major. If you're on the fence, business is a good choice. You won't have any trouble filling those through inexpensive courses and testing.
