Doing a HUGE happy dance!!

It has been my goal to start out taking the pre-reqs I need at a local CC and then to transfer to a 4 year school to get my BSN. Because I already have a chunk of the pre-reqs completed from my first AA degree and the fact that the CC has a huge waiting list no matter what your GPA is and the 4 year school does not have a wait list for over 3.3GPA last year, I could get my BSN sooner than if I just waited it out on the wait list for my ASN.

SO I had all of my classes I thought I needed for the BSN pre-reqs all mapped out. If I wanted a shot at the Fall '10 class I needed to bust butt and take about 4 classes a semester in addition to being a FT working mom. Well I went and talked to an advisor for the 4 year school last night and she cut SEVEN classes off of the pre-reqs I thought I needed!!!

There is a group of classes required for the major, and then a group of classes required as Gen Ed. Some of the science classes required for the major also would qualify as the Gen Ed class but I thought that you couldn't use one class to satisfy both requirements, but appearntly you can! So not only does this reduce the # of classes I need to take each semester, but it saves me over 10K in student loans!!!

YAY! I'm so glad I went in and talked to her.

very kool. this shows there are some things (well plenty of things) where you really do need to go to the horses mouth so to speak if you want to know.
