MAOL questions

[ss20ts]

@jarrett312, Continue on with your remaining classes (the 2 you're working on).  I would complete the application process and apply with your current grades as you've got mainly A's to bump up the cumulative GPA.  UMPI isn't as competitive or semi-competitive as most schools, if in the odd chance you don't make it into the MAOL, you can always go forward with WGU MSML as your back up or the HAU MBA if they still offer the $3K MBA, or whatever you feel would be a suitable backup option.

So it sounds like my biggest hurdle will be finding an adequate source to write my grad LOR. Do you think a professor in the undergrad program would suffice or do you think they want to see previous managers? I’d like to ask Carl Michaud I’ve really enjoyed his classes but never established a personal rapport. None of my managers stem from academia but they’ve held high ranking enlisted positions in the military. TIA!

Ask Professor Michaud. He knows how well you've done academically at UMPI. When I applied to the MAOL when it was first announced, I asked Professor Dorsey (now Vice Chancellor Dorsey) for a LOR and she was thrilled to write me one.
