Wish Me Luck - Just Started Application Process with WGU
Good evening, all. Wish me luck, I just started the application process with WGU. Thank you to -hype for the referral and to bmtuser for volunteering to refer me. It is greatly appreciated.
With luck, I will be ready to go for the classes starting at the beginning of December. Can't wait to get started. Reading the posts that so many others have put on this forum has me excited. I'm pretty sure I can knock out this degree in a year or two. Of course, I might be willing to slow down a bit, since I have a full-time job, a part-time job, four certs that I'm currently studying for, and I have a family, too! Time management will be paramount, lol.
Quick questions...I have three certs from CompTIA and I'm working on two more from MS that should be finished by the middle of next month. How does WGU verify that you have received the certs? Do you have to provide copies to them or do you have to pay CompTIA to send transcripts? Additionally, since I'm starting the app process before taking the MS 70-680/685 exams, will I be able to transfer them in for credit if they are done before classes start? Will they, at the least, cover one of the MTA's that are required for the BSIT/Security degree?
Cheers,
Jim

Thank you. I've set up a two to three hour block of time to study my MS certs each day. The challenge is to be consistent. I work 10 hour shifts in a NOC, drive an hour to get home, then grab a bite to eat. It is far too easy for me to listen to the siren call of my bed and ignore the important things, like advancing my position. Honestly, if I hadn't taken a class for them, I probably wouldn't care. But, I told my wife I would get the certs, so not getting them isn't even an option. Hopefully, this type of discipline will hold me in good stead once I start my classes at WGU.
Cheers!

I personally am looking at pursuing a MS in 2014 and a little nervous about the level of education and time I'll have to invest!
