I start July 1st, what classes can I take on. Sophia so when I start I am able to go right too my core BS IT Management classes.

Thank you in advance! 💚

Hey everyone it's me again lol, I really need some outside advice because this whole situation has turned into a circus.

I recently took a DNA test with someone who might be my biological father. I personally paid for a legal test through LabCorp because it was supposed to be used in court. The results came back fast (Friday test → Wednesday results), which already felt weird for a legal test.

Now that I’ve reviewed the paperwork, I’m realizing the entire chain of custody is messed up:

- The only signature on the chain‑of‑custody form besides ours is the collector’s.

- There is NO neutral witness signature anywhere.

- The collector photocopied our IDs, but the ID copies were not attached to the packet.

- The identity verification section is completely blank.

- The test was done at a regular LabCorp draw site, not a certified legal DNA collection center.

- The turnaround time matches an informational test, not a legal one.

From what I’ve read, a legal DNA test requires:

- an impartial third‑party witness

- ID copies attached to the chain‑of‑custody

- identity verification completed

- photos taken (this part was done)

- collection at an authorized legal DNA facility

So now I’m sitting here with a test that looks official but doesn’t meet ANY of the legal standards. And to make it worse, the other party already ran to the media with this like it was a court‑ready result.

My question is:

Is this test legally valid at all? Can a court use this? And what should I do next?

Any advice from people who’ve dealt with legal DNA testing or chain‑of‑custody issues would be appreciated via labcorp or any other DNA company.

Hey everyone! I’m starting the B.S. in IT Management at WGU on July 1, and I already have some transfer credits, so I’m hoping to move through the program pretty smoothly.

For those of you who’ve completed or are currently in BSITM:

- What should I look forward to in the program

- Any classes that are actually fun or surprisingly easy

- Any that are annoying or time‑consuming

- Tips for staying on pace or finishing early

- Anything you wish you knew before starting

- How helpful were your mentors

- Did your transfer credits make a big difference in speed

I’m excited but also trying to get mentally prepared. Any advice, experiences, or warnings are welcome. Thanks in advance!

I’m starting the B.S. in Psychology soon and my goal is to finish within the 6‑month term I know I can lock in and get it done. I’m not using this degree as a full career changer, more so something solid to have under my belt while I decide whether I want to go back into healthcare or education full‑time.

🌸 For anyone who’s already in the program:

🌸 Do Proctored Exams require a second camera, or is your laptop camera enough?

🌸 I’ve heard there are no discussion posts and you can just focus on the work — that’s exactly what I’m aiming for.

🌸Any tips or things I should know before starting?

Blessings! ✨
