Question about school AFTER WGU

Did you ever get an answer to your question?? I am also considering WGU

You might have better luck with an answer if you go to the WGU forum here.

My best advice is to look at individual programs' entrance requirements as far as GPA. Most that I'm aware of require 3.0. I know that WGU is happy to work with other schools' admissions departments, explaining their GPA/pass-fail policy, in order to facilitate their students' entrance into graduate schools.

It may depend on the particular graduate program where you will apply. Yes, WGU transcripts indicate that the student has the equivalent of a 3.0 GPA. But this may not be sufficient to be a competitive candidate at schools that receive more applications than there are spaces.

Last year my School received approximately 150+ MSN applications for 45 Nurse Practitioner spaces. The mean BSN GPA for accepted students in our NP program last year was above a 3.5.

I agree, check with your desired program(s) and find out what their requirements are. The post grad program I applied to has a 3.0 GPA minimum, but is extremely competitive so I don't just want the bare minimum, you know? However, prior to enrolling in WGU my GPA has always been 3.9 or above, and, at least in my case, a written explanation of WGU's policy in addition to COPIOUS professional and academic references, as well as a darn decent resume, will hopefully be enough to put me in the running. I guess time will tell, right?!

Anyway, I do wish WGU would just do Pass/Fail instead of giving a bogus GPA. A lot of respected schools do P/F and I think it looks better than a 3.0 on your transcript, personally.
