Bad news, Everybody!

[wb.john]

I’m glad we have been having this conversation. I think it has been very helpful.

WB.John – If they receive your BYU transcript before they do your unofficial evaluation, they may include it in the evaluation. I took a test during the 3 weeks that I was waiting for my unofficial evaluation. They received the score the day they did the evaluation and it was included!


Funny! This was news to me, so I thought you would like to know about it, too.

To Kaz, WB.John, and others with Math/Computer Science interests,

While I was looking at some alternative plans, I found this post about Mercy College. They offer an entire Math major and Computer Science major through online courses. I think it is $700 per credit. Until TMW2010’s post with Idaho’s upper-level math courses and seeing this information about Mercy, I did not know that these high level courses were currently available through online or independent study.
I see 3 options:
1. Go to Mercy to get the major. (probably not)
2. Take some of the courses and transfer to EC to complete the Math major (if needed after Math GRE). (maybe)
3. Know that courses are available and look for more. (most likely)
(Independent study with a proficiency exam – Math GRE - is still the best option for me, but it is nice to see that it may be possible to complete a math major with less than an 85th percentile on the GRE.)

Also, I found some information in the same thread which could help me with learning several levels of Calculus for the Math GRE. I have not investigated further, but it looks promising. DegreeInfo Distance Learning - online degree forum - View Single Post - Calculus 2/3 online

I am already looking forward to your Math GRE feedback!

Good find.

In the event that I can't use the GRE at Excelsior, my secondary plan is Empire State College. (Assuming I can still use the GRE there) It will take a little bit longer and it will be more expensive, but I can probably get financial aid. The SUNY brand is certainly more attractive to most peoples' eye. I'm not sure how to handle the 32 credits issue though.

But really, I should be able to enroll before July 1st.

I sent an email last night and Excelsior has already removed ALEKS and NFA from the expected incoming transcripts. This is much better customer service than BYU.
