Thank you for your feedback. The amount of data will be huge and that is a concern when thinking about the practicality.

Your first statement, that schools evaluate transcripts on admossion is absolutely correct, this is not to solve the schools problem

oftranscript evaluation but to solve the prospective students problem of " where can I go to complete my degree in the shortest time possible? And what degree will be quickest for me to complete?"

Of course a formal eval by each school would still be required, but that step is further in the process.

Thank you for taking time to read thru this and give a response.

Thank you. I had not thought of pitching it to a single university first. Valuable suggestion. I can think of several which would like this as part of their own marketingplan. Thanks

Thank you. I had no idea of how to take that step. I will look there as well.

Wanted to add that there are a couple of universities which have it set up for applicants to type in their transcript information as well as a common application site for those applying to nursing programs. Both of those are for individuals who have already decided which program is appropriate. This website backs up the process to help the person decided which program they wish to pursue. Especially someone like myself with multiple hours in various areas who is looking for the path of least resistance to obtain a Bachelors. These people are not really interested in a particular degree, they want the Bachelors which will give them the most credit for the classes they already have taken.
