aquenigmatic at 12:12pm on 25/11/2009 under schoolMerritt Community College wants me to take freshman English because they don't believe that my University of Minnesota English Composition course (a requirement for my Bachelor's degree) is as rigourous as theirs. I disagree.
I jumped through their hoops for Intro to Psych, Interpersonal Communications, and Intro to Algebra for nursing prereqs. I've been treated rudely, ill-advised, and outright lied to in more than one of Peralta's advising departments. Now this.
They did convince me, without even trying, that I need to throw everything I have at getting funding, even if it's a bank loan, to go to a real school with a real academic advising department. If someone's going to condescend to me, then I want it to be by people smarter than the "advisor" I just spoke with. Especially if I can have a more reputable degree at the end of it. Samuel Merritt at $53,000 a year or trying to get into UCSF's almost-impossible-to-get-into Master's program begins to look better and better, even if it means I have to take another Anatomy and Physiology class (because they won't accept the courses from Merritt, and I think I now understand why.)
