    I passed with a 904...I started doubting myself part of the way through, but it seems I knew my stuff.

    To study I utilized:
    -Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) (Authorized Self-Study Guide), 3rd Edition
    -Along with the CCNP BSCI Cisco Network Academy coursework
    - BSCI CBT Nuggets for further understanding
    -On top of all this I was taking a course at my college which basically compromised all of these resources along with some great powerlabs.

    Hey buddy...you passed too today. The difference between you and I is that I went down the street to take it, and you went two hours away in CT. :)

    BCMSN next....just have to review some more content and watch the CBT Nuggets for a brush up. It looks like BCMSN will not be attempted till January. Holiday season is rough. I will be starting the ICSW and ONT material during my winter break, then I start a CCIE independent study course with Mike aka Stotic and a few other fellows. If all goes well, we will be learning a ton of information up until mid May. I may work back on my CCSP since I took a course for the SNRS and SND last spring. Or IF I am ready maybe a written exam for the CCIE. It all depends...By the time I start my new job in July, I will hopefully have my CCNP.

    Yea, it helps when you have a great professor helping to push you and giving you access various lab environments and remote racks.

    The courses offered are:
    Wireless Networking (CWLF & some of CWLAT content)
    Internet Security (CCSP focused)
    Internetworking I (CCNA focused along with some BCMSN)
    Internetworking II (BSCI & rest of BCMSN focused)
    or the CCIE Independent study (CCIE R&S)

    With each course we are basically getting credits for taking Cisco NetAcademyclasses (usually two a actual college course) while also being supplemented with weekly lab scenarios. Furthermore, at the end of each course there is a huge networking manual with topologies, configurations, and explanations that we have to design to be graded by the professor. Besides the NetAcademy finals, we complete a comprehensive final practical which takes into account everything we learned through the class in a timed (a small CCIEish lab scenario). The Internetworking I practical is about an hour whereas the other practicals are at 3-6 hours long.

    I recommend the college's curriculum to anyone! BTW...its the Marist College ITS major with an IT concentration. The IS concentration is more project management based, I figured to go for the IS minor just to get that experience as well.
