Columbia GS Graduation timeline post transfer

I’m writing here because I would love to hear some input from other Columbia graduates or current students. I’m curious about the timeline of graduation, GS currently has accepted 20 of my credits for “advanced standing credits”.

Any experience petitioning for credits from Community College?

What approach did veterans or students in mid20s take to pushing their graduation date forward?

As anyone else who has dealt with this would understand, I’m focused on building my career and getting in a position to have a family and take care of my own. Coasting through college isn’t something I exactly have time for.

Thanks for any information you can provide!
