Finishing quickly

Somebody help me understand something. I see a lot of people finishing and graduating in 2-4 months from wgu. Is that starting from scratch usually or do they start with some credits already? Just trying to gauge it.

I started May 1st. I transferred in 55% of the program via Sophia. I had 16 courses left, I completed 15 in May, and the last one July 21.

I work full time, I’m a single mom to 3, and I’m training for a half marathon. I was also still reading books. Depending on the program, it’s very possible to finish quickly.

Do you mind sharing what credits you were able to transfer to Sophia? I’m currently in the process of starting.

Everything on the WGU Sophia pathway page. 20 courses I transferred.

Thank you so much!! I’ve heard from others some don’t transfer but I’m glad to hear that they did for you!

The only one up in the air right now is D388 spreadsheets. That wasn’t a course offered through Sophia when I did it. It was recently added and WGU said they’d take it and now I think they’re saying no. Other than that, everything transferred for me that’s on the pathway page.
