Officially a Grad Student

[ss20ts]

WGU is pass/fail. All completed courses are considered pass with a 3.0 GPA. If you pass with an A+ or a C- it all counts the same. Some may not like this but it worked for me so I will be returning in September to complete the MBA.

Just note, enrollment can be frustrating as they sometimes take forever to get transcripts processed. Also, there is a lot of writing at WGU too but they have minimum suggested page lengths of 10-20 pages per assignment. 

If you are really learning the information, you will almost always write more than the minimum to prove to yourself, if nobody else, that you actually know what you're talking about. You basically get out what you put in and at the end of the day, if you skimp, you're only cheating yourself.  

Since your are already familiar with competency-based, once enrolled, you should should excel in this environment.

I really like the idea of not stressing to maintain my GPA! I'm fine with the whole pass/fail thing. I don't have sit there and count points like a crazy person. 

Good to know transcripts are slow to be processed! Thank you for that info. 

The writing doesn't bother me at all. I wrote pages and pages for my undergrad in a CBE program. The fewer exams the happier I am. I did realize at UMPI how much I dislike exams and enjoy the writing process. I really dislike discussions with citations. I haven't really found anyone who actually enjoys the online discussions. LOL I also liked focusing on 1 class at a time at UMPI. A few weeks completing a class and it was over. On to the next one. It was nice setting a goal to finish a class in x number of days instead of 7 weeks.
