The promise was alluring: the possibility of knocking months off a college education McCampbell had long abandoned as out of reach. It turns out she qualified for an entire academic year’s worth of credits, and at a fraction of what two semesters of tuition would have cost. “It wiped out my freshman year,” says McCampbell, who earned those credits by proving she could deal with a full inbox of tasks and solve problems with a group.
