WGU BS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (CS) - My Plan to Graduate in Less than 6 Months (2021)

In this video, I talk about the strategy I'm going to use to accelerate through the WGU BS in Computer Science Degree. I plan to graduate within 6 months of my registration date, but hope to do it in 3 months. I cover some of the material I'm using to prepare myself!

Intro:
Hey everybody, it's Josh here
This video is going to be a little bit different.
I decided to enroll in WGU's CS program, and thought I'd share my plans--I figured it might help anyone interested in doing the same thing, or perhaps give an idea of what might be possible.
If you already know me and you're wondering why I'm getting another degree, there is a cool program PhD program at Dakota state university that I want to apply to and it requires an undergrad in CS.
I really want to make myself as competitive as possible and apply to the program, plus I'm a pretty big fan of coding and CS concepts in general, so I'm pretty excited in general.

Goal:
So my main goal of this endeavor is to spend as little time as possible actually registered and trying to complete classes.
What I mean by this, is I don't want to register and then spend 2 months trying to complete calculus.
I'll dive into the details here in a minute, but the idea is, I'm going to "pre-game" and prepare myself as much as possible, register for the program, and try to complete it as fast as humanly possible.
I'm certain I'll be able to finish within 6 months of registering, but I'm hoping to finish much faster than that!

Spreadsheet / Word Doc:
So this is a spreadsheet i've prepared.
My transcripts haven't been evaluated yet, but this is what I kind of suspect to see based on the degrees and certs I currently have.

Explain Easy/Medium/Hard
Explain Preparation
Explain Primer Sheet

Calculus is probably the hardest thing on here
My approach for this is I'm going to review a bit on Khan Academy and then I'm going to take the Calculus course via straighterline and transfer it into WGU. (b-roll)
There are a few reasons for this
Only the final exam is proctored,
Based on the scoring, if you get full credit before taking the final, it looks like you can do very poorly (even 0) on the final and still pass
SL allows for the use of "better" calculators beyond the standard TI-84 and the final is open book with notes
