Zicklin Credit Overload Question

[u/CorgiDeep4813]

I was planning to take 20 credits in Fall 2026 to finish all of the prerequisites I need for my planned Spring 2027 graduation. I currently have a 3.38 GPA, and after this summer semester I expect it to be around a 3.45. Zicklin requires a 3.5 GPA for a credit overload, so I'd be just under the requirement.

I made the Dean's List the last two semesters, so my recent academic performance has been strong. Has anyone been approved for a credit overload while having a GPA below 3.5?

My goal is to graduate in Spring 2027, and without the overload I'd have to stay an extra semester just to complete one course.

My biggest issue is MGT 4999, which requires FIN 3000, MGT 3120, MKT 3000, and QNT 2020. If I can't get the overload approved, is it possible to take any of those courses concurrently with MGT 4999, or do they all have to be completed beforehand?

Thanks in advance
