Is my Excelsior admissions counselor wrong, or is Excelsior no longer "Big 3"?

[wow]

Unlike COSC and TESU, Excelsior doesn't put much information out there about how ACE credits will transfer. For the degree you're wanting, Study.com doesn't really offer anything you couldn't get through CLEP, DSST, Uexcel, or Straighterline. You can find the equivalents for those.

Admissions counselors are notoriously poorly-trained. They have performance measures, but it's illegal to pay them commission. They only need to know enough to convince students to enroll.

Thanks. I'll look at the CLEP and DSST equivalents. I've looked at Uexcel and those are definitely on my list, but less accessible where I live as the closest testing center is pretty far away. Excelsior doesn't publish its Straighterline equivalents, as far as I can tell, and someone at Straighterline told me they've gotten feedback that Excelsior has been inconsistent in what they accept/how they apply those credits toward the degree.

Also, I got a very nice call today from someone at admissions who knew more, which was nice. It was after the admissions counselor above contacted me this morning to ask if all my questions had been answered and I said (politely, I think) that they hadn't. She relayed the questions to the more knowledgeable employee, which I took as a positive gesture.

P.S. Quick update—Just looked at the CLEP and DSST recommendations on the ACE website, but it doesn't look like they recommend a course equivalency, and I'm not finding a course equivalency list on the Excelsior website, either. Is that what you meant, that the actual course equivalency is published somewhere? Or just to look on the ACE website at https://clep.collegeboard.org/develop-yo...mendations for the credit recommendations (e.g. 6 LL credits for the Chemistry exam)? Sorry if I'm being slow on the uptake here ... I will blame the awful virus I've had all week for fogging my brain.
