I'm not trying to accentuate the negative at all. The overall cost of a degree can be quite low. My main worry with EC is this:
An unofficial evaluation may not be accurate. To get an accurate evaluation, you must enroll for $900. If the eval changes, i.e. upper level credits turn into lower level credits, or certain exams or classes turn out not to cover certain requirements, then I couldn't afford the extra requirements. My degree would be dead in its tracks, and I would be out $900.
I know the overall cost would still be lower than finishing at a traditional school. I definitely can't afford that. But if the official evaluation turns out as anything other than I have planned for, then I can't afford EC either, and I'm out $900.
With about 40% of my take-home going to health care, $900 is an amount I can't gamble with. And I can't just charge it and worry about it later.
So if that sounds negative, I'm sorry, this was never intended to be a flame or a rant or anything like that. We can close the thread as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sorry I brought it up.
