Here are some things I learned along the way that I have to consider when choosing a school"
I have received 100's on all Sophia Touchstones. I'm a decent writer, but I can also become frozen and take longer than I should.
I have found that while I had no issues with math previously, I am struggling there. Even the Sophia intro to college Math is giving me trouble.
My choice of school may be dictated by the easiest math requirement.
I like UMPI, but would rather avoid biology with lab if possible. Although I will if they accept an easier alternative math requirement.
I like TESU. But I am not close on RA credits, so if that is a choice, I have to figure that out. Also I don't really understand the residency waiver or their timelines.
Excelsior may be a decent choice, but again, not sure if math will be an obstacle.
I have also looked at the Pierpoint AA BOG. Not sure how useful that would be or how I should proceed if I want to head down that road.
Thanks, you guys have helped a lot!
So considering the time factor (finishing as quickly as possible) and the math issue, any advice?
