UMPI BABA to BAS switch denied
#1
Sad 
Hi Everyone... 

I started my BABA program by the recommendation of the admissions counselor which I regrettably took at heart without doing my own research. I was too focused on transfering the maximum credits that I did not place too much thought into my major. To be honest, I don't like the program much. I am working as an IT Technician and I think that a BAS with an MIS minor would be a way better option for me. I saw the wiki post and fell in love with the posted degree plan.
Anyways,
bottom line is:
I am really interested in switching to the BAS MIS program. I emailed Jessica about possibly switching and she let me know that I needed 40 technical credits but she also gave me the option to switch to a BLS program which I really do not prefer out of cultural reasons. 


What would constitue a technical credit??  

Here is everything I transferred to UMPI so far..

B&M (Penn State)

Micro and Macro Econ(ECO 207 & 2XX): 6 Credits Total
Intro to Stats for Business(MAT 101): 4 credits 
Website Design/Administration(COS 200): 3 credits
Database Infromation Systems(BUS 345): 3 credits
Python Programming(BUS 110): 3 credits
Intro to MIS(BUS 244): 3 credits
International Business law + 1 credit course: Came as GEL 3XX & GEL 1XX 4 credits total
Social & Ethical Environment for Businesses: Came in as BUS 2XX 3 credits
Legal Environment for Businesses: BUS 353 2 credits
English Course: Came in as GEL 2XX 3 Credits

Sophia Learning
Visual Communications: COM 1XX 3 credits
Project Managment: BUS 141 3 credits
Introduction to Ethics: PHI 152 3 credits
Ancient Greek Philosophers: PHI 1XX 3 credits
US History I: HTY 161 3 credits
US History II: HTY 162 3 credits
Principles of Finance: BUS 1XX 3 credits
Enviromental Science: ENV 110 3 credits
Communication at Work: BUS 210 3 credits
College Algebra: MAT 117 3 credits
Financial Accounting: BUS 150 3 credits
Intro to Business: BUS 101 3 credits
Art History I: ART 212 3 credits
Art History II: ART 211 3 credits

After I learned about the BAS option at UMPI I did the following: 

I was able to acquire the Pierpont AAS with an MIS AoA
I got the Google IT certification and the Google Data certification
Also... I am in the process of finishing an IBM certificate... That one will also be 10 credits as well.

My Questions:

Do you think this will be enough to get accepted to the program?? I heard some stories here and I am feeling pretty insecure.
I am also really young (21 yo) which I think puts me in a disadvantage in the sense of the BAS being an in person degree and everything... 


Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
