ChatGPT Releases o1 Full Version at $200 a Month. This Is Awesome!!!
Exciting news! For just $200 a month, you can now access the full o1 model—the very same model available in the $20 subscription tier. But wait, there’s more! You’ll also get exclusive access to the pro version (which is probably the same thing with a shinier name).
According to rumors, OpenAI is rolling out this bold new pricing strategy:
Base o1 Model: $200/month
Pro o1 Model: $499/month
Max o1 Model: $998/month
It's like a subscription tier for your subscription tiers!
I have received a couple of emails that ASU 100 Million keeps changing their grading system. I am in my second course, the accounting course, and the grading has been changed to weighted. I will admit I am having some trouble in this accounting course. I thought you needed at least an 80 on each quiz. Plus, there was one quiz I passed with an 80 I got 6.4 out of 8 and now its been increased to 10 and my grade dropped to 64. It is too confusing.
The free community college has no income or age requirement/max but both have a requirement of being MA residents. It only takes 1 year of established residency to gain state residency.
SO. If a person was motivated enough, they could move to MA, establish residency for 1 year, and get free community college and UMass Amherst for a total of 5-7 years!
(Some companies here also offer $7000 in tuition reimbursement if they can get a job and then get a free master's degree too!)
This person finishes college at 25 rather than 22 who went to college out of high school but the 22 year old who got $100k in loans is going to be paying that out the ass for the next 20 years.
I had a family member voice their concerns about me and told me I have too many/working on too many degrees and my head is going to explode.
This raises a few real questions: "Can you be too educated or have too many degrees?" How big of a red flag is it to have 4 associates, 5 bachelor's, and 6 masters to employers? For most of us, it's mostly an expensive hobby.
As long as they're all regionally accredited, and we have the cash, what's the harm? Is there any benefit to getting a nationally accredited master's when you have at least 1 RA BA/BS and 1 RA MA/MS?
I considered adding the $900 ML from Patten U and the $3000 HAU MBA but would there be any pros/cons to having the NA Patten U degree on my resume/LinkedIn?
For context, I come from a low-income family where I'm the only one with any type of college degree (AS+BS+MS)

Just completed my BOG AAS in Information Technology (minor) from Pierpont, which will confer in December 2024
Currently applied to WGU (BSBA MIS), UW Flex (BAS IST), UMass Global (BS IT), UMPI (BLS-MIS, planning to switch to BAS once AAS confers), Excelsior (BPS Technology Management - IT AOE), TESU (BS Technical Studies), TAMUC/ETAM (BS Technology Management, BS Computer Information Systems), and UMGC (BS MIS)
Leaning toward Excelsior and UMPI because they accepted the most credits.
Questions:
1. What are the pros and cons of the BPS Technology Management - IT AOE (Excelsior) vs. the BLS/BAS-MIS (UMPI)?
2. Which program would allow me to finish the quickest? I only need 22 credits at Excelsior and 33 credits at UMPI.
3. Is there anything I’m overlooking? Any important factors I should consider in making this decision?
4. Does one degree look better than the other? I understand that degrees often come down to "checking boxes," but I want to confirm if there’s a noticeable difference.
I’ve attached the degree plans from both Excelsior and UMPI for reference. Thanks for your help and insights!
I just finished a graduate program at Missouri State and thought I would post a quick review. The program I did was in National Security thought the MSU department of Defense and Strategic Studies (DSS). DSS is geographically separate from MSU and I located in Fairfax VA. My understanding is MSU simply took over the program from another college some years back.
The program offers a graduate certificate, and a MSc with either a general focus or a focus in Weapons of Mass Destruction. The college has a deal with the military, so that officers specializing in CBRNE can take classes here at a discount as part of a requirement for promotion to 0-3/0-4.
There is also a general focus professional Doctorate. All courses can be done in person in VA or online. The General focus at any level can be completed asynchronously online, but the WMD courses require logging in at set times.
Many of the staff are current or former generals and admirals with a relationship to either STRATCOM/Norad, or government SES supergrades with a relationship to the military and State Department. Some of my professors included a current Air Force General, a retired Navy submarine commander, a DIA intelligence officer and a former UN employee that worked as a supervisor of the teams that inspected the Russian ICBMs as part of SALT.
Overall the program was affordable and interesting if you like policy or defense matters. The people serving as professors impressed the hell out of me, given their resumes.
Has anybody received these credits? How much is the 'nominal' fee exactly? I have emailed them regarding the credits multiple times but did not receive any response.
Anyone here who has completed those courses and received credits?
My younger brother is deployed overseas (not US military) and he'd like to find a transfer-friendly, asynchronous university program to complete his bachelor's degree. Already consulted the excellent information at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Co...d_Programs
1) He strongly prefers exams rather than essays. Rules out UMPI.
2) He has over 100 credit hours of Sophia and would like to transfer as close to 90 hours as possible. Rules out WGU.
3) His schedule changes erratically without notice. He needs asynchronous courses.
4) If it matters, he is a US citizen.
5) His internet access is limited to unstable satellite and occasionally poor cellular connections. Rules out proctoring.
6) He plans to get an MBA latter so his bachelor's degree needs to be regionally accredited. Ideally, a public or nonprofit university.
Location: Greece
Age: 26
Time to study: a lot
Budget: Not a lot, preferably paying by installments not much more than $500 per month
Duration: Fast
When to start: Fall 2025 if transfer 117
I was looking at TESU, I have about 35 courses from my electric engineering degree that I did not finish which had surprisingly a lot of CS courses (intergraded masters) the GPA for all is C+ and it was a 5 year program (2019)
So I am guessing that would qualify as RAs? (after course-by-course evaluation)
My plan is to get the BABA PM & MIS from UMPI by May and then start a CS degree, I did everything required for UMPI and I want to get ready for TESU, however I am not sure if I can transfer up to 117 credits? Is that a thing anymore?
I'm not sure if there's a new member thread to post in, but hello! I've been lurking around this site for the past year and I wanted to finally dive in. I hope with this post I can also help someone like me looking for a sign to keep pushing and get that degree. :)

(Note: Majority of my credits from UNO did not transfer between the other schools, even though I was told they met the same qualifications. Don't know what that means or if that will affect my degree plan.) Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: Any certifications or military experience?: Budget: 10 to 15k is my starting estimate, but cheaper is better! Less than 10k would be amazing... Commitments: Just a full-time job during the week, and a part-time gig on the weekends. Dedicated time to study: Realistically about 5 hours a day after work, and ~8 on the weekends. Timeline: I'd ideally like to be done in less than a year for the first one, and no more than 2 years for the second. Tuition assistance/reimbursement:
I've already began putting together a plan for my possible Communication Studies degree @ TESU, but I'm running into trouble with filling in the missing core class sources. I enjoy my current school and the program I'm in, but financially (and mentally) I need a degree sooner than later. If I can transfer my credits back to the school to finish my CompSci degree, then I'd consider going back at a later time just to check it off, but if it isn't worth it, then I'll get my 2nd degree at TESU or another school. I would like the path to be open to getting a Master's degree as well later in life, preferably in Computer Science.
I also don't know if I'm able to "start over" in a sense? My grades were barely passing at some point, so if I need to gain credits from scratch, I'm in a much better place to reasonably to so. Thank you all so so much in advance :)
