Ducks In A Row

Well, it has been just a couple of weeks since I decided to apply to WGU. and it seems like I am ready to go now. My application has been provisionally accepted, financial aid has been submitted and is awaiting packaging, transcripts have been received, and I've spoken to my enrollment mentor twice already.

I have to say I am very pleased with WGU so far and I haven't even started yet. I have attended two other colleges and both had me jumping through hoops multiple times and scrambling to finish all the paperwork before classes begin even though I started the process months in advance. It has been two weeks maybe since my application and I haven't had one problem.  Also, my enrollment mentor has been an absolute doll. Her name is Chelsea and she has been nothing but super nice and helpful in the process. It is nice to feel like I'm talking to an actual human being as opposed to a beaurocratic robot. That has me even more pumped to begin.

I am set to start January 1st. All that is left is accepting financial aid and waiting for my transcripts to be analyzed. I really hope I can wipe out some courses with my previous coursework. I should at least be exempt from some basic English and Math courses. Now for some more waiting...
