Second Bachelors

I have decided MBA IT at WGU , applied free last week and working on the initial assignments / eval. There were some other good choices, but unless there is something cheaper, fastest , better I’m full ahead.

Goodness gracious, that’s the best option. I would recommend it too as they’re my first choice as I mentioned. I look forward to reading about your progress.

I wanted to update everyone of what I’m doing. I’m working on the WGU prerequisites (resume, transcripts) for the MBA, IT. In the mean time I saw that Hodges MPA program Upower was going away and since it was also one of my choices, I’m trying to get in before it goes away. I immediately connected someone. One of the professors in the program called me and explain more details of the program and what I needed to get in quickly to get in.

I was requested to submit school transcripts and I sent in a copy of my TESU BSBA , I was surprised that it was not enough and she said well I need to see ACE and my other local school transcript from 15 years ago. Of course these are in the TESU official transcripts and came with diploma. The Hodges MPA requires a GPA of min 2.75 so my TESU transcripts seem to have no value for this. Ace doesn’t have a GPA but they still wante to validate. I was a terrible student 20 years ago so my GPA is 2.05 or something on that school transcript. I sent All in and I’m waiting but it’s a good learning experience for me.

Grad schools will always want to see all your transcripts from actual schools and if you're using ACE for prereqs, then I'm not surprised they want that one as well.

Once they discover there's no grade on the ACE transcript, I wouldn't be surprised if they want the original provider transcript, too.

Grad schools will always want the original source of your grades.  WGU will want them too.

Update.

I got rejected for the MPA program at Holges because of low GPA. There is an interesting note in the bottom of the graduate eval that states the following:
" Needs to complete 24 number of undergraduate credits with grades of A to raise GPA to the minimum GPA 2.75" . It also states that my qualifying GPA rests at 1.97. This, of course, is a bad news for me. I did not have it that low, but in the 2.20 or so. I guess they do a math using the other courses that bring it down, even more, could be average but I honestly have no idea how it came out so low. It seems I won't have a chance at this school for this program. It is also not too good I need to get 8 courses and straight A's to increase my GPA to 2.75. It it not realistic for me, therefore I will have to look for other options to get my Masters.... ;-(

You haven't missed anything, you have WGU as your primary option and then you can choose another school as your second option. Heck, if I looked at my transcripts from all the courses I took, I think I have a lower GPA than that... don't worry about it...

Thanks bjcheung77 and rest of the members. You all provide unconditional support. I hope I don’t run into the same issue with WGU. I need to find other options just in case. If I encounter this GPA requirement I won’t make it. It kind of sucks.

There isn't a GPA requirement at WGU that I've heard of.
