I just got my transfer evaluation for the new school. 85 of 100 viable credit hours were placed as electives.
Besides shock, anger, and fear, there just HAS to be a mistake. I transferred from a big ten school and these were core classes that matched their checklists and criteria. There should have only been 23 hours of electives according to advisor I met with previously, with the rest applying to the degree requirements.
I called to find out something, any kind of explanation, and they said I can make an appointment with the transfer office and advising office to go over it. In the meantime I asked if it was because of the age of the credits and it had nothing to do with it. I have to wait to talk to the departments.
So I made the soonest appointments which are on Friday.
I don't EVEN want to consider the ramifications of this but I have to admit I am having a very difficult time, since getting it yesterday, in getting it out of my mind. I can't do anything about it until Friday but even then, if it doesn't change, what am I going to do? This school has the only program in the state but I can't start over either; that's absolutely not an option at this point in my life. Never saw this coming. Ei-yi-yi.
Just going to shake my head now, give in for the moment, and going to try to sleep on it. Perhaps it will look better tomorrow. Ha, in my dreams but tomorrow, rather today is a new day.
