She can absolutely get into an MBA program...or most other Masters programs form TESC. There are a lot of options to weigh however. I have a WGU MBA but I WOULD NOT recommend it to my 18 year old daughter. One important element of an MBA is the networking potential of the school, WGU almost completely lacks any legitimate networking and their idea of graduate placement is essentially workign through an online proprietary version of the book "What Color is Your Parachute". Its ridiculous.
There is a poster here on these boards who used a credit by exam style (I believe a TESC) degree to get into a top 50 MBA program. I know of another who managed to get into the International MBA at Duke. Note that most top schools will require some work/leadership experience...so there isn't necessarily a big hurry. A young person should pursue their advanced degree at the best school possible that won't leave them in debt. I like name brand schools, flagship State Universities, well known regional players, schools with big football teams. An advanced degree is a bit of a different beast.
She might also take a look at the MS Management or Finance from Harvard Extension.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
