BA Blues. NA -->RA BA
Hello, (this is my 1st post so bear with me).
I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree and applied to medical school. I received a call back telling me that I can not be accepted because I the school I went to was only nationally accredited and not regionally accredited  .Needless to say i was and still am upset that I never knew about the difference between accreditations. The medical school said they were impressed with me but can not accept me unless I have a regional BA. Reading up on the forum I have formulated several plans but would appreciate your input. Plan #1: Earn 120 credits I have 40 cr from a regionally accredited college. Take 35 Fema credits, 16 NYU Language credits, 6 Eng Clep. A total of 97 +?? credits. Plan #2: Portfolio Assesment Have my studies at the nationally accredited college evaluated and earn my degree. Not sure how good this option is considering I need my degree by Aug. Possible plan #3 (hybrid of plan 1 and 2): Use the portfolio assessment to complete the 23 credits that I still need to complete. This helps me because I do not have many upper level credits and my credits would be evaluated as upper level. I have been amazed with what some of you have come up with and would appreciate any help One more point I still need to earn 1 more credit in either computers or math and would like to know the simplest way to earn the credit Last edited by vbmith : 04-11-2007 at 01:12 PM.

What school did you graduate from?? Depending on which, you may be able to have your credits accepted at an RA school.

what about the GRE? You can get up to 30 credits I think with the one test.

This sounds like a question where you'd probably get more knowledgeable response at degreeinfo.com.
One problem is, I don't know how fast you'd have to complete your degree at one of the online colleges for you to get a degree by August--i.e. there's probably at least a couple of months lag between the time you finish and submit your credits to the time you get the actual diploma.
