UofPeople and Eastern University

[Flightrsk82]

I applied to both schools recently. I applied to University of the People since they received the regional accreditation to the MSIT program. They finally accepted my documents proving language and math and I will be starting there on April 10th, if I decide to attend.

I also applied to Eastern University, MS in Data Analytics. The required GPA there is 3.0 but you can apply with a letter of explanation. I had right at a 2.78 so I decided to take my chances. I submitted all the required documents and awaiting a decision.

My questions are has anyone applied with less than the 3.0? I have worked with data now as an Ops and UAT Analyst for 10 years or so which I hope will strengthen my application. I also completed a Google Data Analytics Certificate that I submitted. 

Last question is if you could decide between the two, which would you pick?

Without knowing your details asked for in the addendum and template, I would select... Neither, I recommend the WGU MS Data Analytics instead for the same price as the UofPeople, but they'll be better recognized or on par with the Eastern University option. If I had to choose from the two - If you have the cash, EU - If you don't, then UofPeople...
