The Importance of TESC Graded Credits When Applying to Graduate School
#13
PaintTheSunset Wrote:Different schools have different requirements. Most schools can even waive one of the requirements you're lacking if you're strong in another area. Also, most schools can give a "conditional admission" when you don't meet all of their requirements but they let you in anyway and you just have to demonstrate that you can meet a certain GPA in the program within the first few courses. I'm not concerned about it. I'd just suggest that if somebody's got a specific program that they've got their heart set on, then look up its admissions requirements and do what you can to meet them, and try to balance weaknesses with strong letters of recommendation and high test scores. It's not TESC or any other college's job to tell us what every single graduate school out there may or may not require for admissions.

I agree that there are different requirements for different schools and programs. I also agree (to some extent) that it is not TESC's duty to monitor every single graduate school admission requirements, but I also agree with the original Facebook comments that
Quote:it's important to make your (TESC's) students aware that if they have aspirations of applying to a competitive graduate college after they complete their undergrad, they still need 60 graded credits for most programs.
I think the person who made that comment has got a point. Many are testing out their entire degrees and as such not having any B&M credits from which to have their GPA calculated by both TESC and graduate school. In such instance where someone used (let's say ALEKS, TEEX, Straighterline, FEMA, and other) non-collegiate credit sources to finish their degree, I think Advising should let students know about the "60 graded credits policy" the possible disappointment they may face when they wish to go further in their studies.
