MMLIS MPA

Go ahead and contact the schools and ask for an extension. Many programs understand you are waiting for various offers and are willing to accommodate, especially if you tell them how interested you are in the program.

I didn't take the GRE at all...and was accepted to Syracuse, USC, and Northwestern for Fall 2018. I have 7+ years of professional experience, 3.97 undergrad & 3.83 graduate GPA, excellent LORs. I imagine GRE scores are not a huge factor if you are really strong in other areas/characteristics.

I spoke to their enrollment specialist, and they mentioned to me (if I remember correctly), that you will be notified electronically, and the will set up 2 appointments (one to make sure you have the technical capabilities, and the second is for the actual interview). I think she said the interview is done on Adobe Connect.

I applied to USC's MMLIS (Library Science) online program in 2016, and I received my acceptance within 48 hours. Just recently, I applied to USC's MPA online program, and the admissions representation told me they do rolling reviews of apps, and I could hear back anywhere between a few days to a couple of months. I guess it depends on when the committee meets, and the strength of your application. As for scholarships, the MPA application have a section on that (so you can apply for the scholarships pending admission). My MMLIS app did not. Good Luck!

Results may vary....It may depend on the schools you are applying to....and also whether you utilized financial aid for the post-bachelor's program. Some schools allow you to attach additional documents/letter, so you can just outright admit it and add it as an addendum to your application. Honestly explaining the situation shows integrity. Some schools will verify through various channels all schools attended, and may not let your application move forward without having that transcript in hand. In my case, I attended University of Phoenix for 1 class...and had totally forgotten about it, as it didn't apply to bachelor's degree. However, when I applied to Northwestern recently, they ran some kind of program and noted I didn't specify this school on my application--and they specifically asked for the transcript. Other schools I applied to USC (and I am already in one of their masters programs), Syracuse, and UNC-Chapel Hill did not ask for it.
