How I’d Graduate from College FAST If I Lost Everything

[@t.m2933]

WOW!!! That was intense and awesome at the same time.

[@amberthompson7173]

Touching on getting in a draft ASAP without being 100% polished is GOLD advice. Throughout this experience, I've learned that my overachieving personality and perfectionism has crippled my ability to move quickly because I'm so focused on doing it right, that I'm slow to jump off the starting line. I've had to repeatedly tell myself "anything worth doing, is worth trying it poorly" and 9 times out of 10, the draft that I beat myself up over or didn't think I did my best in but was tired of spending anymore time on it, proved proficiency and was able to submit for an A without revisions. I'm hoping to take the experiences I've learned in the last two semesters and finish out the last 2 sessions a bit more aggressively. But regardless! Even though my experience has not been like those interviewed, I have still accomplished more in the timeframe with Sophia and UMPI than I would have gone the traditional route. Thanks CollegeHacked for all that you do!!

[@CollegeHacked]

Excellent work! Way to recognize your own tendencies and craft a plan to be more efficient 😎

[@brainsandbeauty95]

I came across this channel in October 2024, started school on December 4th, and will graduate with my bachelor of science in business administration in June 2025. I achieved this by transferring 90 Sophia learning credits. Thank you so much for the advice.

[@CollegeHacked]

AMAZING work!!!

[@nro337]

I know many have been waiting for this one for a while. Super video!

[@CollegeHacked]

It’s been a long time coming, but hopefully it’ll be helpful.

[@Salty4eva]

This is the greatest channel! It motivated me to finish my TESU bachelors , 60 units June to Nov 2023. Immediately started my Masters at UMPI Nov 2023 and finished Aug 2024! Amazing. Thank you for all you guys share!!❤

[@rjtom1204]

This is very inspirational!!!!

[@CollegeHacked]

Incredible job!! Wow 👏🏼

[@talkreds7489]

Congrats 2 U. I finished my MAOL this Month. I love this Channel they are the best.

[@theoutskirts]

I'm there now on my last thirty credits. It's been a fun experience.

[@eastcounty4605]

Awesome! I want to be done I am down to 8 classes and 4 terms to complete them. I figured it's going to take me 2 classes per term. That will be more expensive than I thought. My next classes will be bus 200 and bus 325 I think.

[@RabbiJesus]

Those are the ones that count the most. Keep it up!

[@CollegeHacked]

That's great! Congrats on being so close!

[@SrAntonio301]

For the ‘big final project’ is that one big final project for EVERY class you take or just one big final project for your whole bachelors program?

[@theoutskirts]

@SrAntonio301 there not as big as you think. The projects mainly consist of a paper about 6 to 10 pages. Umpi is research and paper driven, in my opinion over multiple choice finals. What I like.

[@trekster9269]

My last employer was really great at letting me study during down time. The VP saw all of it as being work related. I hope everyone is so lucky.

[@O.G.Kloudy]

Thanks doc

I got 60 college credits 3 months , now I'm going the coast guard with a higher rank e3 and also getting bonus . I strongly recommend if you're going to military after high school like fresh out of high school like me.

[@CollegeHacked]

Awesome work!

[@amayahgabriel9664]

If you can delay enlistment until after you get a Bachelors degree, you can go in as an officer. If you can’t get the Bachelors before going in, start working on it immediately after Basic training once you get to your first duty station. Good luck. N. Green, USN (Vet)

There’s money in the banana stand. Great energy on this one, Cliff. It’s inspiring.

[@CollegeHacked]

YES! Love the reference. You get it.

[@stmiweibing-northamerica]

Could you talk about UF online in the future? Thanks!!!❤

[@CollegeHacked]

Not a hackable school, but a good one!

[@TheDisBeat]

I will say if you listen to dr clifford stumme you will be on the right track 2 classes left for my bachelors and completed over 190 credits in 4 months. You can do it!

[@RabbiJesus]

You’re doing it! Finish strong!

[@CollegeHacked]

NICE!

[@rosmertinef1579]

Could you two touch on the pros and cons of postbaccalaureate degrees, please? There is a camp that thinks they are an utter waste of time, and others might want to do a career change on the undergraduate level, so a postbac degree might make sense. Also, do you know of any schools that offer hackable postbac programs? Thanks.

[@CollegeHacked]

A postbacc is just a second bachelors degree, so any school that’s hackable would be a good one! So whichever has the major you’d need. It usually doesn’t make much sense to get a second bachelors degree though. Either get a masters, or be a non-degree seeking student and just take the undergrad prereqs needed for the masters you want.

[@smvtttt]

Great video and roleplay. One term (2 months) is very ambitious to do 10 classes, though I've seen many folks do it. 2-3 terms seems more realistic. Two terms (4 months) would be $3400 for UMPI, even three terms (6 months) works out to $5100. Hard to beat that price. If you have financial aid available, the Pell might be even cover it all.

[@CollegeHacked]

You are so right about the Pell grant, we see clients get their full cost covered with it often at UMPI! 😄

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

What are your thoughts on LSU online masters program?

[@CollegeHacked]

Very good!

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

@@CollegeHackedThank you! 😊

[@Conjuredfilms]

Can you do a review on south college? no ones made videos on that one.

[@CollegeHacked]

Maybe in the future

[@Conjuredfilms]

@ what are your current thoughts on it? Is it a good choice?

[@eastcounty4605]

What would be helpful in regards to UMPI is the expected hrs. To complete a class there. For example BUS 200 vs BUS 325. These 2 classes are different but when they were developed for CBE there must be an expected time for completion for each class meaning it should take 10 hrs for one class and it should take 50 hrs for another. I asked this question to UMPI staff but not a single person there could answer the question. For this reason I only completed two classes this fall. I am not fast or great at writing. I am still trying to figure out how someone finishes 10 classes in one term. If there is software or an application that helps with essays please do tell I am all ears.

[@SrAntonio301]

From speaking with people on Reddit and discord it seems like adult working professionals apply alot of their work experience to the materials. And yes a lot of them are using AI to help them.

[@CollegeHacked]

Not everyone goes fast! But if you continue at 2 classes per term, you won’t be saving too much money 😅 If you haven’t watched our interview video with Michael who went to UMPI, he outlines a great strategy.

[@YuShawStang]

I took 150 units to get my bachelor and 50 more to get my master. I wish this channel existed 10 years ago

[@CollegeHacked]

Sorry! I was trying, but I wasn't very good at Internet stuff then.

[@BananaRainbows]

What do you think of Maryville University ?

[@CollegeHacked]

Don't know much about them yet.

[@2005sebastianrivera]

Hey, College Hacked. Hope all is well. Currently in the military and I have 15 college credits I obtained before joining the military through another university just last year. I did some research and realized it’d be much quicker with your process and considering on booking a consultation. One question however, if I do Sophia for my college credits, could I use the GI Bill to pay for those as well so it’s not out of pocket? Thanks.

[@CollegeHacked]

Hi! The hacking platforms don’t get paid for by military funds, unfortunately. But the total out of pocket cost for that phase of the plan is almost always under $1,000, and you can pay on a monthly basis, so hopefully that gives you enough wiggle room.

[@rwinton7369]

Have you seen or heard anything good about online law school that appears to be accredited by the American Bar Association?

[@RabbiJesus]

Do you even need a law degree to take the bar exam?

[@CollegeHacked]

Haven't really looked into it, but if you want to be a lawyer, I'd highly recommend going in person. The investment is worth it.

[@adampops6473]

I have 63 credits currently, and my current community college is a pain. Are there any simpler/less restrictive schools that will take my credits and be very close to associates? This channel motivated me and showed me it's still possible to graduate, so if there's any way you guys can get back to me, that would be awesome!

[@CollegeHacked]

Most definitely. Watch the group of videos we have about UMPI. You can apply and send them your transcripts for free to see how your credits will fit into one of their Liberal Studies Bachelor’s degree options. Or TESU if you truly want an Associates instead.

[@tina-t7s9c]

I selected UMPI but, I'm wondering why they would not accept transfer credits for my medical courses. I'm not sure why it would be necessary to take these classes over again. Wondering if this is the right route for me to take.

[@CollegeHacked]

It’s possible the courses weren’t accredited, or that they expired.

[@tina-t7s9c]

@@CollegeHacked It's accredited and they are not expired. It's like they didn't look at the transcript at all and take the time to evaluate it. My courses allowed you to sit for the NCLEX. There are many lab hours and clinical hours I've accumulated. I thought that the new Healthcare Admin would link up well but, it was overlooked. I also have university credit hours. I'm just wondering.

[@CollegeHacked]

@@tina-t7s9c Hmm, not sure. They are typically excellent about transfer credit so there's something going on there.

Hi dear I’m a big fan from Saudi As an expert I want to know if penn foster high school diploma will be accepted in UMPI or an online slef paced college thanks 🙏

Not sure about that one, you’d need to ask the school directly

@ thanks boss 🙏

[@LisaLove-m4l]

Why doesn't the bachelor's matter once you have a master's?

[@CollegeHacked]

You know how colleges look at high school transcripts for acceptance and not middle school transcripts? Same sentiment! A lot of life can happen between those degrees so it’s sort of a statement of evolution. The most recent info is the most accurate reflection of the person.

[@sci134]

Hello, how can an international student receive an accelerated physics bachelors degree after having previously attained a bachelors in engineering ?

[@CollegeHacked]

Use WES.org or ECE.org to get your international transcripts evaluated. Present the evaluation they create to Liberty University and ASU for acceptance into their online Physics programs. Pick the fastest option based on transfer credit results.

[@sci134]

@@CollegeHacked Thank you but do you reckon there are any cheaper alternatives?

[@CSMtnBabe]

Are these the only competency based universities? Are there others?

[@CollegeHacked]

There are others, but they aren’t as hackable as the ones we talk about often.

[@petespiak9627]

Do you think 10 classes at umpi or a capstone at excelsior is more difficult? I’m looking to do the least amount of work

Capstone will be harder but overall less work than 10 classes

Does this works the same for international student?

Yes!
