Feeling discourage

Feeling pretty discouraged about this degree, guys. I went to a “Meet the Firms” event hosted by CalCPA, and it felt like students from traditional, in-person colleges were prioritized. Recruiters also mentioned including your GPA to stand out, which makes me nervous since WGU doesn’t provide a traditional GPA.
Everyone seemed so young, too, which made me feel a little out of place, although I know that shouldn’t matter.
For those who landed accounting jobs or internships through WGU, what helped you get your foot in the door? Did employers care about the lack of a traditional GPA, and how did you handle that on applications? I’d appreciate any advice or hearing about your experiences.

this class took me about 5 days to pass. I followed what others recommended—went through each chapter and practiced as I watched the videos. One thing that really helped was taking all the chapter quizzes, since they prepare you well for the pre-assessment.

The pre-assessment is very similar to the objective assessment. I didn’t aim for 100% on the pre-assessment, but whenever I didn’t understand something, I asked chat to broke it down in simpler terms until it clicked.

What made the biggest difference for me was making sure I got 100% on the quizzes—that really helped me to pass .
