FEMA credits and grad school.
#1
Has anyone had experience trying to get into grad school with a bunch of FEMA credits used towards their Bachelors? Do grad schools fron on this or do they care? I'm trying to decide if I want to use mine or take another few tests instead to fill the credits. My goal is definitely to get into grad chool.

A handful of credits isn't likely to matter regardless of where you go, up to 12, maybe 15 and it will be an oddity at best. Most grad schools are unlikely to care ifyou do 30 or more....if were talking competative admissions to some select place you might have a valid concern with a year's worth of FEMA.....probably won't matter to ost though.


Where are you thinking?

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I would be shocked if either gave a second thought to your FEMA.

I rarely ever contradict friends and I may get in trouble for this. Sorry Reb! If you are considering Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem North Carolina, consider it is ranked 27 in the 2013 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities: Wake Forest University | Best College | US News. A small number of FEMA credits may not make a difference to a top 50 ranked university. I would contact the grad department and ask how many pass/fail ACE approved credits they will accept.

good advice, certainly the more competative the more it stuff like this matters.
