While you wait I'd suggest you look into an option to earn 'Business Statics' - you can use it for the BSBA requirement at either school (TESU will take any statistics, but COSC requires 'Business Statistics"). I personally used SL, but I believe ALEKS has it also (cheap to try at $20 a month - you could finish within a month), there are other options as well - I just don't know them all.Okay I’m definitely going to apply then! I was digging around the site and saw that Alek isn’t good though has that changed?
ALEKS has had a number of periods where their ACE credit status was in limbo due to us not knowing if it would be renewed. It is very much back to being an option and ALEKS Business Statistics is ACE approved until 05/31/2020 (so plenty of time to finish). If you're looking for a bit of insight on the subject before you pay for it you can brush up on statistics for free through Khan Academy -https://www.khanacademy.org/
Each course provider has its pros & cons - and what is good for one person isn't necessary good for another. I think for the $20 it would be worth trying them for a month - if you find yourself struggling then I'd look at other options; especially if you think it will take more than two months. There have been some recent posts about ALEKS, but oddly I did a quick search and they seem buried (only much older posts are showing). Start a new thread with "ALEKS Business Statistics" and you'll likely get some specific feedback on how it works, and maybe even some tips.

I'm a huge Study.com fan, and you'll likely need them for AOS UL credits at some point - but they don't offer 'Business Statistics'. So their 'Principles of Statistics' is good for a BSBA through TESU, but not at COSC. As I said, I'd give ALEKS the $20 for a month try while you wait for your evaluations. Apply and send your transcripts before you start ALEKS - get some intro to statistics on the Khan site for a week or so prior for no cost (help make that $20 you give ALEKS go as far as it can).
