Is anyone familiar with this program? I am hoping to do the 1year option.
My gpa is below the min, I have a sub 3 gpa due to major medical problems in ug.

I also have an alternate transcript post-undergrad filled with a grad biz class, some community ollege biz classes, mostly retakes of classes i did really poorly on have a gpa of about 3.5 from these.

havent taken the gmat yet. its a work in progress.
work experienceis about 6-7yrs.

any advice? is this too much of a long shot?

thanks again

I am exploring this option as well but haven't decided if I want to go online and keep my job or leave for a full time program. U of F looks like a really good online program.

What is your GMAT? A higher GMAT could offset a low GPA. You've taken some C.C. biz classes which should help (also shows your committment to improving yourself).

Your essays will also be an important way for you to distinguish yourself and possibly explain your low UGrad GPA (medical or whatever reason).

I don't know much about admissions but, why the hell not you? Don't let a weak area on your application deter you from applying. Put together the best app you can and go for it.

Best of luck to you. :D

My gpa %&# its 2.85. I had a lot of up/down semesters for medical reasons. Evene though its CC I decided to take some classes over that I got like C"s in so far I got A"s in all of 'em except accounting B and eco b+ (which is equiv to 3.5). I just wanted to build an alternate transcript to show that Im not what my undergrad gpa represents.
Im gonna have a hard time explaining things with the essays.
I wonder when to even get my app in im guessing asap.
I havent taken my GMAT yet but Im hoping to finish that before summer and apply. As I know they have rolling admissions.
Im from out of state but I would fly in every 4moths or so when required I really like the program its unique and not like one of those univ of phoenix type.
I know the avg is I think 3.2-3.3 and 600-610 I believe which obviously means there are some people lower in my range.
Hoping someone has insight on the program
