Top-ranked master's/MBA plan

[bjcheung77]

@Jesse666 兄弟, You've provided a great introduction and follow up along with concerns, but it's still missing more important information such as your budget, commitments, study habits, previous credits for possible transfer, etc.  For the Masters program, are you looking at online degrees or are you planning for a two/three year move? Instead of going UMPI > 1 > 2 > 3, it may be cheaper, easier, faster to go from UMPI > 2 > 3.

I see you're very proactive by asking questions and getting answers for your concerns, that's great. There are numerous variables at play, without knowing the big picture and an overview of what you have, it's hard to pin-point your options. You should fill in the template and addendum here as a start and wait for responses:  https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

If you haven't already reviewed some threads/posts of how others have done things, I suggest taking some time to review posts and the WIKI for details on plans and how others have gone on from Excelsior, TESU, UMPI, etc, onto graduate school. I believe you're looking for the most economical yet effective/efficient way to get from the Bachelors to the Masters, the 4 options you selected doesn't compute well with me.

Let's do a random sample of what you proposed and compare it to something I would do instead.
Your option:  UMPI $2800 > Stanford Online $45K > Stanford $45K = $92,800 in 5 years.
Recommendation: UMPI $2800 > GT $10K > UT-Austin $10K > PhD living in Australia/Canada/USA.
Depending on how you play your cards you have been dealt, you can do a PhD instead of the final Masters.

According to this and other sites, top 50: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Government
GT is not on the list, but UT-Austin is! Along with 1 Aussie, 3 Canadian, and several other global universities.
