   I am sure if you show proof that you are starting it, they will accept that. I think I got that one back in HS... I cant remember. I hope so!

    oh yay, the computer exemption test doesnt count towards the GPA calculation! I took the test to wipe out a C- in Intro to Programming that I took over 12 years ago... but then I was afraid that they would take the test score (87) and count that as m...
