The Importance of a GPA for grad school

I'm working my way towards it but would still love to hear from someone who completely tested out on their success of getting in to a masters program without a GPA...

APU doesn't have a GPA requirement, and their MBA is only about $13,000.

I'm almost done with my TESU BSBA and already applied to Patten for their Masters program, I will also apply to Hodges and WGU.
I do believe Patten and Hodges may not require a specific GPA for ACE credits, but if you have taken any from a Community College or University, they'll look at it.
For WGU, I think it's somewhere along the same lines as well, but the majority of competency based degrees are "easier" to get in.

You shouldn't think too much about getting in just because of the GPA requirement, there are other requirements as well...
Apply for it when you're nearly there, but first, focus on your Associates or Bachelors and work your way up that ladder to the Masters.

The other thing to consider: you can always take a class or two for a grade, and make sure that you get a really good grade on that course, to get a GPA. If you're getting anything besides a BSBA at TESU, you will have to take the capstone, which will get you a grade.
