FY10 STA-21 Pilot Selectee
I am a FY10 STA-21 Pilot Applicant, and have contacted UT Austin admissions requesting guidance for applying for admission.
I am currently enrolled in AMU (American Military University), an online college. I have 43 credits, most of which are Transfer Credits, awarded from my SMART transcript, that took the place of all of my electives. I enrolled at AMU last year so that I could start to get some of my basics out of the way before trying to get picked up for STA-21. I was told I must apply as a transfer student, but I would only be considered if 30 of my credits transfered to UT. They also said that most military credits do not transfer, so I would most likely be ineligible. Is there anyway around this? It seems that by starting classes, I've screwed myself. I otherwise could have applied as a Freshman. As an enlisted in the military, it is quite normal for people to enroll in online colleges to get the basics out of the way. I don't see why there are military waivers and aid for tuition, but not for admission.
ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
