I just called my mother to ask her views, and she states that it makes sense...that an associate's degree only holds weight in the state where it was attained. Seems like a useless degree then. A bachelor's is accepted nationally when applying for graduate school, no matter the undergraduate core curriculum of that particular state.
There is still a question as to how credits transfer when you have completed more than the amount accepted at the institution -- if there is a specific selection process...
BTW, the counselor kept thinking I was asking her if a university HAS TO take me if I have an AA. Of course, I'm not an idiot and do understand that you have to apply to a school and get accepted based on things such as your GPA, testing, essay, interview, extracurricular activities, etc. It's like I couldn't bend her thoughts away from that once she leapt on it, no matter what I said. It frustrated me. O how many memories return of my loathing for this school and all the irritation it caused.
The only thing that the AA/AS degrees can grant for admission into a four year college/university is that you have completed all of the general education requirements.
