pass/fail credit for grad school??
#1
Hello! Looking for quick help with something. On my grad school application (University of Illinois) this is written:


"To be eligible for consideration, you must have earned a bachelor's degree with a cumulative 3.0 GAP (4.0 grading scale) in the last 60 hours from a regionally accredited college/university."

My BA is RA (TESC) but I'll only have 32 graded credits (remaining credits were pass/fail mostly from CLEP, DSST, and credit for prior teaching). I do have 63 graded associate degree credits, but those were from an NA college. Any thoughts here? I would like to hear from anyone who may have encountered this type of requirement.

I am just bumping this back up top. I STILL have not heard back from this school regarding my admission. I have decided to enroll elsewhere, however, I would like to be able to share the outcome with those here. I think posting UI's decision to let me in or not is worth posting LOL.

I also would like to know about this as well.

I was going to be doing some research today on some grad schools and their requirements. I will be able to complete my BA in Liberal Studies completely by "testing out." I'm only going to take one course online just to establish a GPA.

I just hope I can find a reputable grad school that won't give me any problems concerning admission. I was hoping to attend at least one of the top 20 grad schools in the country (preferably one of the top 10 but I have to see what's more economically feasible for me also). If anyone has any information on this matter please share. This information would be good to know for everyone in the IC community who is contemplating grad school in the future.

QUESTION: For example, in the case with the University of Illinois...do you think they would give you a hard time if you scored well on the GRE exam? I thought this (the GRE exam) was all that mattered when it came down to grad schools.

From a loyal degree seeker,

I know for a MBA you need the GMAT. That is the route I hope to go.

Liberal Studies this week Marshal?

Just kidding,
