College Plans

These past few months, especially since graduating from NTBI, I have been weighing options for finishing my college education, and I have finally come up with a solid plan. I mentioned in a previous post that I have been considering getting a degree in electrical engineering. The method I will be using for this goal is as follows: for the purpose of keeping cost and time down, I will be doing 16 transferable credits with College Plus (a test for credit system), and then transferring to University of Colorado Denver. While looking at colleges, I had narrowed it down to UCD, and Mines. I chose UCD largely because I have a better chance of getting accepted there than I do at Mines, given my ACT scores from high school. You might ask, "aren't you settling for less than ideal?" since Mines has a reputation for being "the engineering school" in Colorado. My answer would be that I don't believe that to be the case, because from what I can see, UCD still has a very reputable EE program that is comparable to Mines, and on top of that, UCD will accept the 16 transfer credits I plan to do through College Plus. At any rate, it's nice to finally have a plan to go by. I guess we'll see where things go from here.
