Hello Degree Forums!
I first discovered this forum a few days ago and have been reading as much as possible and have found so many new things... Now I would like to jump in and ask for help and advice for my daughter. She will be doing common app and applying to schools soon but is only planning to apply to big names like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford to test the waters on how much financial support they may provide. We expect that she will not get into a top-name school, and we would like to have a plan in place that we will pay out of pocket for her to finish.
My daughter is 17 and has been taking college classes since she was 13. Her focus is on Computers (anything, she wants to be as well-rounded as possible), wants to get a Paralegal or Law degree, Mathematics Degree, and wants to explore a degree in Education.
Here are the classes she has finished, is currently taking, or signed up to take in the spring, along with the school and degree she is on track for. I've also listed some of the certifications she is working on.
Cincinnati State Technical and Community College
Program: Associate of Science (AS) with Honors
Program: Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Computer Software Development (CSD)
Program: Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Software Engineering Technology (SET)
Program: Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Computer Information Systems (CINS)
University of Cincinnati
Program: Bachelor of Science in Information Technology - Software Development
Program: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.Sc. CS)
EC-Council
Certifications
What options are out there for her to transfer credits to and pick up some additional degrees that would fit into her plans? I feel a bit lost because I dropped out of college in my 1st year, 24 years ago. My wife has an Associate from an Art school... We are not experts, thus why I turned to you all!
Thank you all so much for any feedback!
PS: All of her grades were "A" except she had 2x "B" and 1x "C".
I edited my post to add in some points I noticed were asked in other threads.
