Wait list or GPA schools

Oakland university will take anyone who meets the basic requirements (passed all the prereqs they require with at least a C+ I think you have to check exactly what they are on the website/ info session) but waitlists are super long (about 3 years before you can start I think and I've even heard people that were scheduled to start this past jan that got bumped back). That's a huge reason why I didn't even bother applying there since I'd be sitting around for the next 3 years when I could be DONE with a program in that time and could start working.

Personally I'd try and get my GPA up an apply to schools that admit once a year based on achievement because you can start right away versus waiting around for years to start a program.

Good luck to you!

Are you sure that Oakland University has a waitlist policy? How did you find out about that?

Okay, thank you, I just wanted to make sure that it was correct, I will have to go to a info session just to make sure, it does seem like a funny policy, you don't want to have to wait around forever to start a program and get your career going, but it also means that if you meet their requirements you get in and to me it is a plus that if you don't have a 4.0 you still have a chance at pursuing that dream. So its not a bad deal, but i'm not sure about waiting years to get into the program, i'm assuming that if your gpa is high you will probably get in before someone who is just at the 3.0 mark. I will go to the information session to make sure that is their policy. Thank you so much for responding!
