I’m gonna sound like a loser here but I didn’t graduate undergrad. I was probably 9 credits away majoring in Mechanical Engineering but things happen at home and I had to come home for semester which turned into forever. I have worked in consulting for 12 years now and want to finish my degree at WGU. (They are accredited) Would I have even a shot at doing my EMBA at a decent school? I have big 4, Tech and founded a failed start up.

I know there are so many qualified candidates and so few spots but I wish they had seen it in me.
