10 courses in 10 days - klone - 07-12-2023
I did it! 10 courses in 10 days! I will add that I am on paternity leave, so I have had more time to dedicate to my classes than I would have if I was at work.
Completed:
POS101
HUM103
MAT140
BUS200
BUS220
BUS244
BUS321
BUS325
BUS330
BUS440
I was unable to enroll in Summer Session 1 and utilized most of my time learning and studying the courses I knew I was going to have to take. I will say that the exam based finals course's are a lot harder than written assignment based finals. I am officially burnt out.

That's a record pace!
So were you going to do the MAOL? There are 4 undergrad UMPI courses that transfer into the MAOL.
Update 08/21/23:
There are 4 undergrad UMPI courses that transfer but only a max of 3 courses can be applied to the MAOL.

I plan on going to WGU and getting an MBA.

Ok, I suggest applying for the scholarship at WGU since most people get them. They divide the award into 4 terms so you don't get it all in one term.

There are 3 undergrad courses that apply to the MAOL currently. This could change with the move to Brightspace this fall.

Most people do not receive a scholarship at WGU. According to WGU, 1 in 10 applicants receives a scholarship.

@klone, OMG Congrats! Hmm, this is very tempting to me, I want to try something like this! If I had a crack at this, I would have taken the time to get them done in the allotted session of almost two months instead... Same price of $1500 if you finish in the session or finish in 10, 20, 30 days... I understand that it boils down to the amount of energy/time you have during the day, being on leave to get these done are great, but will really burn you out. Anyways, congrats again, that's amazing use of your energy and time management, you did that perfectly!

Thank you. I did not get straight As like I wish I would have; however, a 3.7 is good enough. The exams are what screwed me.

10 classes in 10 days is insane! What kind of grades did you receive? BUS325 is a ridiculously long course with a ton of content.

Hmm. Your GPA's competitive enough for some semi-competitive or the non competitive Masters. It really doesn't matter since you're going to WGU and they don't really have a GPA over 3 you need. Most schools, even the semi competitive ones, do require a 3 or higher, so you're good on that front anyways.
Come to think of it, if you did spend twice the amount of time, you may have gotten a slightly higher GPA than the 3.7, but that really won't matter, people should go at their comfy pace... Again, great work on finishing that quickly, depending on the student, exams are sometimes harder than assignments.
