Unfortunately, my GPA got hit pretty hard in college because of some choices I made (attempted to double major in fairly difficult fields). While I'm certainly confident in my ability to score well on the GMAT/GRE and perhaps generate a couple of interesting items on my resume, I fear that my GPA would be enough to keep me from getting in. So, this is my way of asking how to get accredited without going to an accredited school.
- equark 16y agoYou have two options: try to get accredited enough to get hired directly or try to get accredited enough to get into a feeder program. I suspect that the latter is easier. Many good schools will give you a chance if you signal you have your act together (i.e., by scoring well, getting good letters, have some interesting experience, and maybe getting a few As at some local University). I really depends on the exact job you are trying to obtain though. MFE is very different than an MBA. Also remember to be patient. You may need to apply multiple times, for instance, or spend a year at a local university taking course work to prove you are capable. But don't forget that 40-65 is a 25 year career, optimize that.
