RockyBoy,
Thanks for your input on this. I also read your post above about how it took you six years due to costs, etc. Same story for me. Also, understand what you mean about spin it in a positive way. For me I had a good GPA - 3.68 and did my best to diligently make every "A" I could and it paid off.
I've been told they look at gpa's pretty heavily right now and hopefully mine will help me stand out. Thanks for inputting how they asked you in your interview about taking six years to finish your degree. That will help me be better prepared for questions like that.
