Newbie...I think I am overthinking this and its paralyzing

[jrojahn]

I do not want to make a crazy long post that loses interest but I just want to give you some background on myself first.

I am a 27 year old man who is recently married(last summer) and have a baby on the way. This has resparked my desire to get back into college and get my degree. I originally attended PSU as an Engineering major what feels like many moons ago and sitting in class was just blah. So I left and actually happened to stumble upon something I was passionate about during my hiatus. I have always been a natural leader and when I got my first job in logistics it just kinda stuck. I LOVE the fast pace! I finally got into a great company who values my experience and what I bring to the table but realize to continue to move up at some point I will need my degree. I have moved into a supervisor role very quickly and my Ops Manager and VP of the Region tell me I have true potential.

So with that said if I follow a plan for testing out of a degree at TESC will I have trouble getting into a tier-1 or even a tier-2 MBA program because I wont have a GPA? I just can not stand sitting in classes to earn "credit hours". Why would attendance have anything to do with my knowledge of a subject? I was looking into WGU because it is gaining a good reputation as well but the same problem exists there.

So long story short...could I get into Kelley Direct, FOX OMBA, Fuqua CCMBA, MBA@UNC? Is Wharton a possibility? Maybe these programs are out of reach?

I realize there are other variables for sure I just want to make sure a lack of a GPA would not hinder my ability to advance my education and career.

Please Help!

Thanks in advance
