Do graduate schools ask for your CLEP/DSST scores?

...this is a micro-issue. IF a school puts up a roadblock, just pick another school. There are plenty.

It would be so awesome if there was a thread similar to the beginners guide thread for prospective graduate degree seekers... something like a dummies guide to getting your ducks in a row for grad school. It's about as daunting figuring out the grad school thing as it was when I first started researching online undergrad degrees. The thread could include a list of schools preferable to online degree holders, schools categorized by their different gpa requirements, by general prerequisites, by cost, by accreditation, by online or B&M... I know it takes forever and a half to research this sort of thing, so of course this is more just wishful thinking. With a big batch of undergrads graduating this year, maybe in a year or so we'll have more grad school testimonials.

Something I've wondered, how much should we worry about grades? For most of these online courses and test-out courses, almost everyone talks about what you need to do to pass and get those credits, nevermind if it's a C in real life, because it's the credits that matter, a pass is a pass, etc. When I first started, I thought the same thing, that if some course like CLEP exams transfer in as a C-equivalent, why work your tail off when your grade won't even be recognized...yada, yada. Now that I'm looking at some nearby prospective grad schools, maintaining good grades, primarily in AOS and other UL courses, has become way more important. Watching different friends and family attend local CC, seeing them work their tails off for every single point on that gpa has also made me wonder, is it smarter to not have to worry about a gpa or is it lowering the bar and contributing to the bad rep department of online degree seekers?

I was asked for my CLEP and DSST scores by the three Cal State universities that I applied for as well as by West Texas A&M and LSU Shreveport. I was ultimately accepted by each and every one of their MBA programs.

From what I've read it seems like anyone with a lot of alternative credit in their undergrad degree could not go to a grad school with a gpa requirement higher than 2.6ish; I wonder, is a 3.0 possible?? Do those schools have gpa requirements; if so, what were they?
