It is an interesting thing what you are doing with a weekly blog of your experience with bariatric surgery. It is a shame that most of your credits will not cross over to Northern Illinois University. But many universities make similar restrictions probably because they are a money making organization. If you decide to go back to college, I would recommend the following.

1) Also go to summer school. The course work will be easier, more laid back and should give you better grades and also cut back on the time needed to get your degree. (My daughter graduated with a BS degree in electrical engineering in 3 years. In part, this was due to her taking summer classes for one summer.)

2) When it comes to electives, take upper level courses where possible. Many colleges use the lower level courses to weed out students. Many times, the prerequisites for a course are "several other courses" or "permission from the professor teaching the course". If you go and see the professor and explain your interest in the subject, many times they will make an exception and allow you to take their course. Instead of taking 100 level basic English courses, I took courses in Shakespeare and Poetry. Instead of taking a 100 level course in sociology. I took a course in Field Archeology. They were more enjoyable and I got better grades.

3) If you are able also get into Honors level courses. The class size is smaller and your chance of success is better.
