Re: Applying to AACSB accredited B-School MBA with a felony [#permalink]
I think that any accredited MBA program might let you apply with unofficial transcripts, but wouldn't let you actually start taking courses until they got official ones.

I hope they will allow me into the program with unofficial transcripts. The thing about obtaining unofficial transcripts before the first class is I will be relying on my Financial Aid Refund to pay my unpaid balance at ASU. The Financial Aid Refund usually is not disbursed into several weeks after the first coursework of the semester begins. I talked to Mississippi State U and they claimed they would allow me into the school so long as I obtained the official transcripts within the first few classes or at least by graduation. We will see. Thanks for your reply.

Since your felony was pretty recent, you will need to explain it, and like highwyre said, make sure you talk about how you've grown or what you learned in the optional essay section. If you can get it dismissed or dropped to a misdemeanor that would be ideal. That being said, I wouldn't think that for an online program it would be that big of a deal. I'd guess that for the online schools that you listed will take pretty much anyone who can pay the tuition. That's just my guess.

Now not having official transcripts could be a problem. Did ASU even let you graduate with an outstanding balance? I would try to get that taken care of immediately.

ASU did let me partake in Graduation ceremonies, and ASU has conferred my undergraduate degree via unofficial transcripts or by phone call, but they will not release my official transcripts or the hard copy of my Bachelors Degree until past due balance is paid.

I would like to take care of my owed balance at ASU, but I am experiencing financial hardship. My plan is to hopefully be admitted into a graduate program then use my Financial Aid Loans Refund sum to cover past due balance at ASU.
