Looking for some advice on possible transfer or graduation (read post)

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, this is my first post so I am hoping I have gone to the correct forum.</p>

<p>My situation is a little bit weird, I currently attend college online because I have moved (quite a lot) my entire life, I attended 3 elementary schools, 3 middle schools and 7 high schools. I was wanting to attend on ground, but wound up attending online and now am stable enough to transfer to a brick and mortar school. I was looking over my courses, and I actually have completed enough of them to graduate with a "general studies" Bachelors degree and I was wondering this.</p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to go ahead and switch majors to graduate with general studies and go ahead and attend the school I was looking to study at as a graduate student? I will be 25 soon, and I am currently (like many) dependent on financial aid. This brings me to my second question, if I did go ahead and do this, would I still be able to actually get financial aid for the second school? I planned to get a full time job (currently work part time) and try to pay off some of my student loans until school starts back up.</p>

<p>Finally, my current online school is accredited. however I was asked to take a third party test instead of the general ACT/SAT test, as a graduate student, would that matter?</p>

<p>I appreciate any help I can get here, It's kind of a confusing and difficult situation lol.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Andrew </p>

<p>Its not clear what you need. For Graduate School, often the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is needed, not the SAT/ACT. It is a “general test”. What use do you want to make of your degree? That is, what is your intended major and how can getting the degree improve your life? What is your life goal? What is your current work?</p>

<p>I don’t know much about financial aid. For some majors, there is more merit aid available for grad students. In some majors there are teaching assistanceships (TA) or RAs available.</p>

<p>I think you would get better answers with more specific information.</p>
