I met a guy named John who has plenty of education but from a school that wasn’t accredited. Now he’s trying to get into a master’s program like I am. So he figured out how to test out of almost all of a college degree!
This is useful if you need to pick up some classes that you already know, or if you are a super genius and can study for college at home, or need just the right summer class to round out your prerequisite classes. I am in the last camp.
Here are some links that point to some great Credit by Exam resources. John used these programs to great effect. I haven’t used them yet but certainly might this summer.
great link for college degree planning Degree Forum is the site for those people utilizing credit by exam and applying those credits to degrees
Excelsior College in Albany The largest of the schools accepting up to 120 credits.for their degree programs

The GRE is the test you take when you are trying to get into Grad School. I’m trying to get into an Occupational Therapy Master’s program at San Jose State. The test is hard. I’ll be taking it this Friday.
Please wish me a bit of good fortune.

This brought to you (and me) by my friend Marah. I certainly need such encouragement with all my chasing school stuff. (I’m taking the GRE in 9 days, and I’ve got a flurry of tests in front of me before Holiday break)
Now the big question:
Do I go for it or try to get accepted into an Occupational Therapy Master’s program at Samuel Merritt University / San Jose State University? I won’t know if I’m accepted into either of those programs til February or March.
What do I want? What can I get? What is achievable? What will bring me the most happiness?
With huge help from Megan, and her great friend Rachel, I submitted my application to the Samuel Merritt University Master of Occupational Therapy Program tonight!
“That was an innovative and original presentation you gave. Can I have your lesson plan so I can show other facilitators?”
That’s what my Interpersonal Communications professor said about the presentation that my classmate and I put on tonight. :-)
