Maybe I missed something, but how do you come up with a 2.45 GPA at EC taking the extra classes, but with no GPA at TESC?
For a "Cheapo" Grad school, try TUIU and see if they'll take your non-GPA degree. That's the school I'm looking at enrolling in after I finish my BS.
EC transferred in my 33 B&M credits w/ a GPA from 25 years ago of 2.45.
TESC accepted the D's so I got more credit (42) but a GPA of 2 or 2.2. However EC's GPA does show up on the transcript. I've been advised TESC does not. TESC only awards GPA for coursed taken at TESC.
I did think about the taking 1 course idea and get that grade (I need ENG 102 and that's almost a sure A for me), but I didn't think a grad school would be dumb enough to NOT notice my "4.0" GPA came from
one actual course (100 level) taken 25 years after my last awarded credit. I find that more dishonest than to say "I have no GPA because I was a non-traditional student who earned credits in a non-traditional way but graduated from a REGIONALLY ACCREDITED state college." "Here's my GMAT, my resume, an essay and some references to help you decide (plus I'm paying for semester 1 with my credit card, not financial aid)" and see what that does.
I figure after that it's out of my hands. And the bottom line is I'm only 12 credits away from the BALS and for employment purposes, that will get my resume in the door where before it might have been sent directly to the shredder for lack of a Bachelors degree as a minimum requirement.
Best,
Mike
