Another school to look at, especially from a cost standpoint, is Capella (the competency-based FlexPath program @ $2200/3-month quarter for unlimited courses). They will take international degrees (you don't have to get it evaluated first, you apply as an international student). And they are a Straighterline and Sophia partner school, which means that they will probably take all kinds of ACE-recommended courses just like the Big 3. And they take 135cr (quarter) out of the total 180cr needed, so 75% of the degree can be transferred in. So, even if they don't take your entire degree, they will probably be more lenient than some of the other schools in bringing in credit, and then letting you make up any missed credits cheaply.
The best thing though, is that they have a BA in Psychology, but then have 14 different Masters programs for Psychology. So, you have a lot of options. The cost is $2400/quarter there, so a great price for a masters degree if you can finish quickly.
I'm very skeptical about Capella, I have come to learn a lot from what happened to ITT-Tech, the criticisms that colleges like University of Phoenix and Southern New Hampshire University are getting, this really leaves room for doubt of employability as there is a sudden doubt now whenever you mention such of your resume. I am not just going to this just get a degree, I need it as a foundation to further my career in the United States.
I just tried to order my transcript from my college through this service ETX-NG, they are called Electronic Transcript Exchange Services, the moment I started filling out the form after registering, the first prompt I got was that my college does not have electronic filing exchange system yet and transcript would be sources by the company's rep, which means leg work and going through the college transcript process, digging through mountains of paper files, documented and reproduced, definately takes time for about $180 in cost when converted to dollars.
I am stuck here, delay is what I don't want but with the suggestions so far, it looks like it's inevitable.
