Hi,
I haven't heard that the GRE no longer covers the entire major at Excelsior. Do you know with certainty that this is now the case?
Unless they have recently changed their policy with regard to the GRE, here is how it works: Excelsior awards credits toward a psychology major on a sliding scale based on how well (or how poorly) you score on the GRE.
In order to be awarded full credits, you have to score in the 80th percentile (this is not easily achieved). The lower you score, the fewer credits you will earn towards your Psychology major.
Also, even if you are awarded the full 30 psych credits for the GRE (12 lower, 18 upper), you would obviously still need to make sure you meet all co-requisites for graduation (such as WER, writing & research, ethics, statistics).
Hope that helps,
Snazz
