Most Big 3 graduates haven't had any issues moving forward with a masters degree and I believe that there even a couple former forum members that have gone on to law school. No, you won't be able to go to medical school with a transcript full of tests, but if you're not trying to get into a highly competitive graduate program, I can't imagine you will have issues.

I was very worried about acceptance in my MBA program because it's a very unusual program and I didn't see any others that appealed to me as much. I thought that if I didn't get accepted, I would not be able to find another one that was as interesting. So, when I knew that graduation was in sight, I contacted my school of choice. I checked on their CLEP and DSST policy and spoke to both the admissions counselor and eventually the head of the program. I didn't tell them that the majority of my credits would end up coming from testing, I just found out that they didn't have issues with seeing CLEP/DSST credits on my transcript.

When I applied, I had to write two 750-word essays and go through several interviews. I was very nervous because I was fully anticipating the "why do you have so much non-traditional credit on your transcript?" question, but it never came up. I spent a lot of time to make sure that my essays were my best work and when I prepared for my interviews, I did a TON of work to make sure that I was able to demonstrate my ability to be successful in this program. Overall, they seemed to be much more focused on my ability to keep up with the coursework and the contributions that I could make to the classroom environment than my undergrad transcript. Of course you will want to do your best to keep at least a 3.0 GPA, which seems to be an arbitrary cut-off for admissions. If you have a 3.0, even if you got it through the one or two classes you'll end up taking, then you meet their requirements.
