Low GPA question...

[mongoose65]

Thanks for all the great advice. Although I don't agree with it all, it is still greatly appreciated. I do not believe it is all so cut and dried. Some grad programs seem to take GPA as a portion (e.g. admission requirement is GPA x 450 + GRE score MUST be over 2250...with a 2.0 that would mean 1350 GRE which is tough but doable and much cheaper than retaking a number of classes). I am already close to 100 credits (over that with FEMAs). I have contemplated retaking CLEPS to replace C-'s at EC, or some graded DSST's.

I am leaning towards TESC because I have a dozen unused FEMA's, I got zilch on the Psych GRE (so no loss there) and I don't have to deal with the LL/UL credit issue.

I mostly want my BS as quickly as possible. I think going with a grad certificate program, open enrollment (Hey Jennifer, Harvard here I come, LOL), or negotiating my way into a program as a provisional student is very doable with any GPA. I will have a BS, 2 grad level certifications, referrals and whatever I can muster on a GRE or other entrance exam. Oh and cash in hand, which schools seem to like.

Does any one know if TESC will drop D's off a transcript if replacing with an equivalent course or exam? I know EC will do it but I do not have any D's at EC.

Does TESC offer grades for DSST's (the older ones, not the newer ones)?

Happy Memorial Day to all.
