The younger generation born in 2000's are super lucky. They can bypass two years of general education courses by taking Tel Learning, Outliers, Earned Admissions.
Now, I'd like to advise all prospective young students to take maximum number of online RA courses before applying to any private university in US. They will be able to save $100,000 on general education courses.

First - you're not bypassing 2 years of general education courses if you TAKE 2 years worth of general education courses.You may be able to take them faster, or more cheaply, but you're not bypassing anything.

Second - that assumes that every college will take everything you transfer, which isn't generally the case.  Also, I have friends whose kids are going to private universities, and with scholarships and discounts, they are paying LESS than their friends at in-state public universities.  One friend's kid is at Grand Canyon University, paying $12k a year for tuition, room and board - so $48k for 4 years (in-state CSU-system schools are about $7500/yr plus $12k/yr for dorms - a $30k savings).  Another friend's kid is at Point Loma Nazarene University and is paying $22k/yr for tuition, room and board (her other option was a UC-system school for $15k/yr + $12k/yr for dorms - a $20k savings).  In both cases, they ended up paying less and graduating on time - something CA state universities are notorious for not being able to do.

Never rule out a private university - they have money to give out that public universities do not (not talking about federal/state money).

Also, many states (probably half) have community colleges that are less expensive than $400/course, so those people are much better off going to a CC for 2 years and transferring to a 4yr school - especially one with an articulation/transfer agreement.

I'm not interested in CSU system except for San Diego State University which is the most popular among them.

Anyways, I highly encourage every young students to take the maximum number of cheap online RA courses on Tel Learning, Outliers, Earned Admissions before applying to any private university.

I'm talking about situation which you apply to top-tier private universities. Many of the online RA gen ed courses will transfer for sure.

You're assuming those credits will transfer which is definitely not always the case. Just because a course is RA credit does not mean it's going to transfer into a program at a college. I had almost 200 credits ( 170+ were RA credits) before I arrived at UMPI. All of my math did not transfer to UMPI because it wasn't needed. Same with my science, social sciences, arts, and humanities. I also still needed to take an English literacy course with them even though I had take 5 English courses including an honors English course. At CSU Global, my math and English did not transfer because they were too old. They needed to within the last 5 years and there was a specific cut off date. Many people on here take longer than 5 years to complete a degree. Yes, many are faster, but life happens. 

If you're applying to a top tier private university, then you're not wasting your time with Tel Learning. Sorry, but if you're going to Cornell, then you're taking your classes at Cornell not Outliers. You want that Cornell credit and prestige that comes with the name. Very few of us on here are going to a top tier university not because we can't get in but because we want to get this over with on our own terms and not pay a small fortune.
