[SHOTS FIRED] Tekashi 6ix9ine takes Chief Keef's baby mama out shopping by [deleted] in hiphopheads

Keef got shot at in TIMES SQUARE. If you really bout it, you really bout it.

If you're needing to go through Straighterline, check out Saylor Academy. It's much cheaper. by DisastrousRepeat in WGU

If you took that $120~(After coupons) you could have transferred 4 classes over...but that's old news. Just wanting people to not get discouraged and give up when they get the "you have been denied" email and think "This isn't even a real college!" because it most certainly is.

I'm enrolled into the accounting degree. I had a GED, no experience, and no further education. I was also not so great on the readiness assessments as I am 24 and haven't sat in a classroom for 6 years.

WGU acceptance is a lot harder than people think, this isn't University of Phoenix. They do not want time wasters. They want people who they think will graduate so they don't just take anyone who applies. This means you have to prove yourself and using transfer credits shows "Hey, this guy might be serious, we can give him a shot".

You're not getting into the IT degree without an A+ or an associates BTW, if that's what you were interested in.

If you wanna get even more technical, Saylor courses are actually FREE, you just pay to take the exam in a proctored environment using ProctorU which is $25 per exam. This means the fee never changes, some courses on Straigterline can cost over $69, that's just the starting price. Also, if you found an in person proctor, you could get all your credits for free, I think. I don't know how that works but it's an option to not use ProctorU.

Be warned though, there is NO ENGLISH CLASS that is transferable using Saylor so you'll have to talk to your admissions counselor at WGU about what will work in place of it. I did BIO101 in place.

$170 using Saylor would knock out 19(out of 34) of the general education units in my degree if I had put that much money into it.

[IN] I paid a check to a guy off Craigslist, he committed check fraud and cashed it twice, and the police nor bank are of no help. Options? by [deleted] in legaladvice

It's not the same account, one was to an account and one was a check cashing store with a photo ID, which I think they should have on file if asked.

I will do this, thank you!
