Graduate Application and ACE Transcripts

[allvia]

I applied to at least a dozen different schools for grad programs, and the only thing I sent them was my TESU (bachelor) transcript. I only took one course, the capstone, at TESU. The master programs ranged from Data Science to MBAs; I was admitted to all programs at all the schools I applied (some even to my surprise - top programs, but not budget friendly for me). None of them asked me for more. Most just care that you have an appropriate bachelor (with a reasonable GPA reflected), along with other things they'll ask for - like resumes and references. Getting into a graduate program is more often about you being a well rounded package; not about the micro details of how you got to be one. Don't overcomplicate your graduate application - keep is as simple and straightforward as you can. Most schools/programs are not as competitive as they lead you to believe; the university battle for graduate students (and their money) is where the real competition is. And before the naysayers come in with some exceptions, I said most - not all. Plus some of those top (and non-profit) schools are just as relentless about trying to get you into their programs as any for-profit at the grad level.
