Did I make a good decision? |

Hello,
A few months ago I received an acceptance letter for a graduate program 'Master in CS Engineering' at NYU Tandon. However, after a long discussion with family I decided to not continue with it due to the huge tuition costs and living expenses.
Could I have done something to make the tuition lighter as an international student ?
Did I do well or did I miss out (realistic answers only).
Thanks for reading

Admissions Drama |

Here is the insane situation I find myself in
8/4 I applied for admission to UMPI for the Oct 28 start.
8/5 Sent transcripts from my Community College ADN (66 credits), Sophia (33), Study.com (15), CLEP (6) and a resume.
8/6 Decided to brush up on my math by signing up for a Universal Learner Course at ASU (with 1 year of ALEKS access).
8/13 Mention this to UMPI Admissions advisor by asking if I were to complete this class after starting their program, could I get credit for it.
Here is where the insanity begins. Over many, many e-mails and a phone call, UMPI advisor insists upon directly receiving an Official letter from ASU before moving forward with my application. This was followed by several e-mails and phone calls to ASU's UL saying this is not possible and that the best they can do is send an enrollment verification letter to ME personally as obviously, there is no transcript. And then UMPI saying this isn't good enough. Around and around.
I have actually resorted to forwarding the emails to each other to try and break this impasse.
I do understand having a policy requiring Official verification of PRIOR learning for applicants, but this is just not that. It's obviously NOT THAT. I kept thinking that eventually they would see this and accept my application as it stands.
No amount of begging or explaining or pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation has made any difference. I have even gotten the Assistant Director of Admissions involved. I have tried "dropping" the course (which really isn't a thing with UL- you just don't do anything and after a year they end your access.) My final e-mail to the Assistant Director is directly asking if my application will be considered without this letter or if I should pursue my education elsewhere. I await their response.

(I did want to say thank you to this forum. Both of my daughters have used and benefitted from it, this is my daughter's account. I am 53 and have decided to return for my bachelor's myself. But for this little black raincloud and a billing issue with study.com, things have been going well)

Question re: Straighterline ACC150 |

Hi all,
I am considering taking Straighterline's ACC150 to satisfy one of my final upper-level requirements for my BSBA at TESU (it will transfer to TESU as ACC-303 Cost Accounting).
I noticed in the course details, it says the following:
Assignments for this course include:
- 4 Graded Exams
- 1 Graded Midterm
- 1 Graded Final
Does this mean that the course has no written assignments, only tests? That would be fantastic, and I would definitely take the course, as I'm already very familiar with the material.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Transferring credits |

This is my first time initiating a credit transfer. It’s from my community college to UMPI YourPace. I want to make sure that the credits don’t “get taken away” from my community college since I still have to finish out the Fall semester there to get my associates.
Notes:
I need to complete my associates at my CC because it’s a stipulation of my financial aid.
I am not using financial aid at UMPI at all, only my CC.
I am overlapping the end of my associates with my first session at UMPI. I can handle the workload, just want to make sure I am not overlooking any mistakes in doing this.
I have asked both colleges, just waiting for responses. I wanted to get some input here too.
Edit: I got my answer, it looks like I cannot be matriculated at two colleges at once so my CC told me to do UMPI classes as a "guest student". I don't know if there is any way to do YourPace as a guest student so I may have to defer my start date until Spring 2025 Session 1.
