Just a couple of points, but first the disclaimer: I have not attended WGU.
I was accepted (before I found this forum), but they only allowed the equivalent of 42 of my approx 85 semester credits, whereas TESC allowed 75- that was a BIG difference to me. Also, they use their own method of tracking credits, neither quarter nor semester. This, amongst other things, makes it very difficult to transfer OUT OF WGU if you so desire. They have their own way of doing things. Some people love it, some people hate it. It may be different for teaching certificates or grad school, but it did not make sense for me to finish my BSBA at WGU.
On a separate issue, I saw that you were undecided about DSST vs TECEP for a couple of "classes". I have taken 3 TECEPs in the past 3 weeks, but have not received scores yet. The TECEPs I have taken were much harder than any of the 11 CLEP or DSST tests, except Money & Banking-that was tough. They were not "deep", but just covered A LOT of territory. The wording of the TECEPs also is more exacting. I had several questions where I would be willing to swear in a court of law that ALL 4 of the choices were correct.
I hope this helps. Greg
