The Tale of WGU

I've been doing some research on WGU, and what really stuck out was it was non-profit and the certifications were included in the tuition. That said, they won't accept me because I don't have (a) any certifications, (b) no verifiable work experience in the field, and (c) no associates degree in the field.

I don't have any questions about it, but it would've been nice if they would've posted those requirements before I started the entire application process.

Either way, back to self-study I go.

Well, I passed the exam for an MTA certification, and they're still giving me a hard time because I told them I don't have IT experience. I told them that it states on their Admissions page that it takes one of the following:
An IT degree

Demonstrated IT experience

An IT certification (listed as acceptance)

They are giving you a hard time and you have a cert? That's weird. I got in with just Project+ and no experience. This must be a new thing with them

After "reevaluation," they're calling me today.

I have a feeling whoever is handling your admission is either new to their role or slightly confused.

I spoke with the counselor, and decided not to continue the process. My mentor/counselor was clueless and didn't do a good job explaining anything.

I'll just continue my self-study until I'm comfortable with the process. My gut instinct is telling me to back off for now.
