Since TESC doesn't give you a gpa except for courses you take with them what would be the negative? TESC would end up possibly granting you credit on some course and you can still actually get a gpa by taking courses through them.>>
Because they will be part of his degree and forced to be calculated in (not by TESC, but by his grad schools). IF they are outside of his degree, they are floaters and may be excluded from is application.
Essentially, my suggestion is to earn 120 new good credits (for a total of 147) and even if they end up included in GPA, 120 at 3.5 or 4.0 + 27 at 2.0brings up the overall average significantly. If he used the old classes, he is only brining in a possible 93 credits at 3.5 or 4.0 and adding 27 at 2.0 That's not enough "good grades" to bring him up to snuff.
So- I'm saying that even if TESC gives him "credit" for the 27 old credits, the issue is diluting them so they won't bite him when he applies to grad school- and by compartmentalizing them (floaters) they may be excluded all together.
I took a sleeping pill, I hope what I'm typing makes sense:eek:
