WGU Ranked #3 Best Online Cybersecurity Master's Program

[freeloader]

I got into the program. Now I feel speshul.

No application fee and everyone wanting to get into cybersecurity is likely where this % has come from.

That's it. There's no risk in applying because there's no application fee. If there's a $75 application fee, and you know you don't meet the minimum requirements, you're likely not going to apply.

This thread got me thinking: what happens if you apply to WGU (complete all the initial application stuff) but don’t send in transcripts or don’t complete other required steps to be fully admitted/be enrolled?  What if you start the application but don’t finish it?

Do they reject your application?  Close it as incomplete?  Leave it open indefinitely?  Something else?

I ask because I could see a lot of people submitting the application—it is free and pretty quick, after all—but then not ordering transcripts or taking other necessary steps to actually start taking classes.  It wouldn’t be at all surprising if more than half of the people who started the application process didn’t finish it. That could help make your program look a heck of a lot more selective than it really is if these people are counted as rejected.
