I was researching the Masters programs at the Harvard Extension School. I like the program but have some questions and I can’t find the answer anywhere to it … The Extension School had no answers for me.
To get admitted to the Extension School program you need to get a B+ average in 3 of the admission courses. I was told once you’re accepted into the program the graduation rate is 96%. (great to hear!)
Unfortunately, I also read online that only 1/5 of one percent of people who take a course at the Extension end up with a degree. (1 in 500) I read that here:

Therefore, the question is…What is the general probability of getting accepted into the program (B+ average in the first three admission courses)? My background is I went to Penn State University, my undergraduate GPA was 3.95, in Accounting and I was in their Honors Program as well.
Also, If you have an opinion give a good basis to support it…
Thanks!!!
