This channel is 10 times better than that CollegeHacked channel. Actually providing useful information rather than just enough to get a $500 payment out of me.
I'm leaning towards University of Wisconsin or UMPI but WGU will give me 65 transfer credits for my associates. I hope the others give a decent amount of transfer credits also. GPA is important to me since I don't want limit my masters program potential with the standard 3.0 gpa most like competency-based programs give. Thanks for the info!
I know it sounds crazy but WGU actually has a better placement record than those other schools for Master's programs. WGU students have been accepted to Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Loyola, USC, Penn State, and a ton of other really high end schools. Shoot me an email if you'd like (ryan@9monthgrad.com)... I'm happy to give my advice.
@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 Hey thanks so much for taking the time to reply! My other reason I may go to Wisconsin is time. I can start in June whereas WGU I have to wait until July. Wisconsin has 3 month periods so if I need say 3 I can start immediately at wgu after. If I go straight to WGU you cannot start your masters program until your previous 6 month period completes. I'll shoot you an email. Thanks again, much appreciated.
How about study and memorization techniques. I saw your video on studying for a course a week but it would be great on what methods for test prep you use.
Thank you for sharing. But I would like to ask if a six-month undergraduate degree is too low in value to a company compared to a four-year degree, and what should I say about the education on my resume?
It's literally the exact same degree. You just did it faster than everyone else. If you don't want your employer to know how fast you did it, you don't have to tell them. But most of the time employers are impressed.
Hi, really appreciate these educational videos listening to you about taking the compentcy test makes aloe of sense. My situation is I had taken so many classes for nursing degree but was not able to complete my degree for health reasons, but looking at my transcripts, it looks like it could be an associate degree. Can I get a bachelor degree without an associate degree? 😊What do you recommend?
Yep. You don't need an Associate's to get your Bachelor's. You'll just take the classes needed for the Bachelor's. And hopefully a lot of those past credits can apply towards that. Shoot me an email and I'll see if I can help you find a solid path.. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
Would you say your technique will still prepare you for after the degree? As in, will you know the material well enough to actually perform the job you got a degree for, or is it mainly just trying to accelerate getting the degree? I main concern is I have considered WGU before for their software development (now software engineering I believe) degree. Software engineering careers usually require you to know how to code/program and sometimes even give you a test for a job interview.
Great question! You can absolutely walk away with the degree, AND all the knowledge you need. But at the same time, you can week out the stuff you won't ever need. Which unfortunately is A LOT! But yes, you can definitely study harder for the important stuff so that you retain it for your career.
Josh Madakor has a review on that specific program (along with the CS degree). In short, yes, there are several classes with projects that require actual coding.
Could you advise what is the best way to test for these 3rd party tests? Also how do you find out what you are testing for? What resources are available for testing out for credit?
I highly prefer not using 3rd party exams, and testing out of classes from inside the school. It just looks better on your transcripts. Having said that.. I lay out my systems, processes and hacks in great detail in my Degree Hacking Academy program. Here's a look: www.DegreeHackingAcademy.com
Absolutely! For me it felt as easy as high school. Shoot me an email if you're serious about this and I'll help you map out a path (ryan@9monthgrad.com).
These test-out courses that you mentioned, are they cheaper? I am not getting FAFSA or grant and pay out of pocket but all these universities you mention are very expensive! WGU's fee is about $1500 for each courses!
The goal is to pay for 1 term, but finish as much of the degree as possible in that term. You can get an entire degree for under $4,000 if you do it right.
You can, but I actually prefer testing out of classes through Universities instead of through 3rd party exams. Most highly respected schools have a limit to how many 3rd party exams they'll accept. Most of the schools that allow 3+ years of transfer credits from 3rd party are not very well known and don't look as good on a resume. There are definitely some situations where the transfer strategy is the right fit. But most of the time, Degree Hacking CBE programs is just smoother.
It depends on the school. Every school has different criteria for what they'll accept. You'll need to reach out to the admissions office for whatever school you're curious about.
@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 yes, I've reached out to SNHU and Ramsussen university for the B S Business Admin degree and they don't accept much credits from these 2 platforms. Do you mind sharing the Roadmap for how you did you Business admin? I'm a little confused at the moment
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 This is exactly what I've been looking for, because WGU does not accept international students which is a pain tbh. Thanks!
If you're already enrolled in a school, and the school doesn't allow you to accelerate then you'd need to transfer to a school that does. Shoot me an email with more info about your situation and we'll see if we can find you a faster path (ryan@9monthgrad.com).
@@heartgolden2173 I paid about $200 out of pocket. The key is to graduate in just a semester or 2 so that you don't have to pay as much tuition. Then scholarships and grants are so much easier since you're only having to cover a semester or 2 in tuition. But... this only works with schools that offer "Flat Rate Tuition". If they charge per credit, you'll have to pay full tuition even if you graduate faster.
I do have International Students who are working on their degrees. So yes, it's absolutely possible. But there are a few more challenges if you're not in the US or Canada. Here's a video where I lay this out for International Students... ua-cam.com/video/8nT_2rR5Tls/v-deo.html
Not a ton, but a handful. Capella is definitely lower on my list. I like other schools more. But Capella does have a few majors that are self paced, that just aren't offered by other schools. So sometimes it's the best option. For example, psychology majors.
Thank you for making this video.
