GPA from undergraduate degree/TESU?

[pws]

Thanks for the input everyone—it helped clarifying things.

I calculated all my courses from the previous school and I have I think about 20 credits I'll be able to transfer.

Regarding the school for the master's I was mentioning, it is a brick-and-mortor school (one course is online, though). Also, they aren't a top school at all. However, they still seem strict with their admission requirements, but I guess all universities do that?

Right now, the main thing I am wondering is:

• The school will see that I transferred graded credits from a previous college, and that I have some graded credits from TESU—but what will they think of the medium-large portion of courses with no graded credits? Will it be odd or perceived negatively?
  

Yes, that is right. However you can do TESU's comprehensive plan and get credits cheaper.

What is TESU's comprehensive plan to get credits for cheaper (and how do you get this)?

Also, there are people on this forum with many test-out ungraded credits who go on to highly regarded programs at schools all the time.  So I think you're fine to do the test-out method.

That is motivating.

Further, if you need *more* graded credits, especially those in your major or to meet grad school requests, then simply do that.  Yes, TESU charges about $500 per credit, but that's competitive with most 4-year colleges, especially when you consider that you do NOT have a 15-30-45 credit residency requirement.  At TESU, you get to choose how many classes you take with them.  I took classes for the express purpose of having graded credit in my major for grad school (granted, it was a bit cheaper when I did it) but don't try and change your career / dream / aspirations to fit into a TESU degree - do the degree in the way that helps you achieve YOUR goals.

I agree. However, the question remains how many is good enough? If you do too many, it could end up being really expensive, and if too little, I you could miss your chance at that school.

With your major, how many graded credits did you take? Were these enough for your master's?
