Western Governor's (WGU) Course Question

[Merlin]

You will not get any letter grades at WGU. Everything is pass/fail.

Seriously? I didn't realize that! You'd think they'd have mentioned that when I was asking about exam credit and such. Is that for everything (including their own classes) or just for exam competencies?

If it is for everything, then that is just crazy... no grades = no GPA, which may be fine for a post-graduate degree, but if you want to move on to a non-WGU graduate program, from what I've learned, most major graduate schools want to see a 3.5+ GPA (over at least 30-60 graded credits) to receive serious consideration, unless you can blow them away with an amazing application essay and/or near perfect GRE/GMAT/LSAT/MSAT score, etc. even then they still may deny you.

The GPA issue is one of the reasons I'm planning to aim for as many letter grade exams as possible (plus classes where it makes sense) to try and keep a decent GPA and as many graded credits as I can. Unfortunately, the refreshed DSST's are making that a PITA for me since they are all P/F now.
