Is WGU BS -> PhD possible?

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone has gotten their CS degree at WGU and managed to get a PhD at a T30? I currently have 41 Sophia credits towards the CS degree but feel like WGU would limit me for a PhD. I have the option to go to my local B&M for free but I feel like I’ve put in a lot of time into Sophia to get in

Edit:
I meant WGU BS -> MS @ a B&M -> PhD

C951 pandorabots down

Is anyone else having issues with pandorabots not working at all?

I’ve been trying to develop my chatbot for the past 3 days and the site seems to be down.

4th time is the charm d684

Finally passed d684 after the 4th attempt.
It feels bitter sweet . I’m very proud of my self for locking in and avoiding the pressure.

This time around I relied a lot on Quizlet and the in the Wgu community.
The teach backs helped out a lot to but I think for this class Quizlet sealed the deal.

This is your sign to never give up on yourself. Remember failure is apart of your success journey.

D287 vs Real world

Hello, I am currently working on d287 and the project I wouldn’t say is hard but I don’t enjoy it at all, before when I made small projects I got a sense of joy but with this it’s just monotonous. I truly like programming and enjoyed learning languages like c/c++, python, java, but since the start with this class something just isn’t clicking. Is this what it will be like after I graduate?

Anyone Else Not Find a New Job?

I graduated last July, 2025. Realizing it’s almost been a year. I was targeting Business Analysis roles. I landed a few interviews but nothing. I already have a Master’s in a completely unrelated field and my current job is becoming unbearable so I started applying in that field and have gotten a ton of interviews.

I’m not abandoning BA roles but I really can’t get hired in them right now. It sucks. How’s everyone else doing?

Calculus is ruining me

I’m struggling to pass calculus. I don’t know what it is, I met with the professors and they said I was ready. I got just under passing again… I don’t what to do. I saw older post stating to do it on “Sophia learning” but I don’t think WGU is accepting transfer credits after admission. Anything I can ask for to help with me passing?

I'm owl done I'm owl done!!! MSCS

Not sure what I'm gonna do with my non-work time, now that I don't have to feel guilty for doing literally anything other than homework.

What'd you guys do with your spare time once you graduated (those of you that are done already)?

I feel like there were millions of things I've been wanting to do for the past 6 months but didn't have time. Now that I'm done I can barely think of any.

Progress and some motivation

Hello

I am finishing on an intense semester in order to finish my wgu degree as soon as possible. I wanted to share my progress and also give some motivation to other's.

Currently only 3 classes missing and I still have 3 weeks to go. I transferred around 52 credits, which left me with 18 classes. I have 11 weeks left, so i think we are going on a good pace.

I will preface this, I am a software developer who is currently working, with almost 4 years of experience, hence I already knew a lot of what was taught in these classes.

Once I finish I may do an additional post to review each class individually one by one. You can totally do it, don't give up.

I am doing this to pass the hr filter for a degree, I had opportunities where they said we would hire you however you do not hold a bachelor's. I am also from Canada and i plan to most likely work in the USA in the future, but the work visas associated with those require a bachelors.

Just keep at it, stay consistent. I try not to take my foot off the gas, with WGU it is easy to slack off, but just keep going, you will be surprised what you can accomplish. Hopefully this serves as motivation for you reader.

If this would help you out please send me a direct message and I will have you make a shipping label to your address so no money needs to be passed over.

First come first serve, please only message me if you can’t afford one and this would help out.

D387 Docker Desktop application is stuck on Starting the Docker Engine...

I have tried restarting multiple times, checking and unchecking various settings in different places within Windows, running many commands that are recommended online, reinstalling Docker, and so on.

The Settings along with any button at all are unresponsive. If I try to go to those menus, it is covered with the same message. The Restart and Quick Docker Desktop options do not work. I've tried Ending Task on all instances of Docker App.

If anyone has run into this, I would love to hear what helped you. I've never used Docker before in my life and this has been the most frustrating and awful experience I have had with any software in my life.
