WGU's graduation rate is only 14 percent after SIX years.

Four-year graduation rate of students attending Ivy League schools in the U.S. as of 2018 is 84-89% in only FOUR years.

"You may have seen graduation rates reported for WGU, including a rate on the College Scorecard of under 20%. That’s because the College Scorecard uses Department of Education data that only counts first-time, full-time students."

Side note: To the OP, I came into WGU with 67 CUs and finished the other 55 in less than 4 months. They're not obliged to take any of your credits (I easily "lost" 70+ credits due to their age). I used the transfer guidelines and bashed out what I could (the 67), then enrolled. It was fairly painless, and I didn't come in with tens of thousands of debt, nor did I leave with it.
