I just started my UMPI journey! And hopefully law school after this

[whereismyramen]

Hi fellas,

I just started my UMPI journey since July.7th. I transferred in 89 credits from Sophia.org, waived the second language requirment because English was my third language.

Three and half weeks in I've finished BUS220 and BUS200.

Ten more courses to go. And by this pace I would probably finish the degree in two subscription terms.

The true reason I could knock down theses classess quick I guess have something to do with I am already PMP certified, learned some bussiness aspects through work and crash courses and now more feel like a brush up on my old memories instead of completely learning new things.

Probably would declare a BLS in Pre Law after my BBA in Management, since I might be applying this winter for 2026 enrollment of law school. Will be documenting those if anyone is interested, but I guess then I would need more than 60 credits finished at UMPI? So I would need a thrid or a fourth term. Already got an 168 of LSAT in my June test. Will be taking another test in early August as well.

Will be applying to Georgia Tech's OMSA after UMPI as well, backup plan for law school didn't pan out. I wish UMPI could provide CS/data/stats major as well... I mean I am aware that WGU exist, but I just have some preferences for schools have a actual brick and mortar campus.

Does the GT OMSA accept non-stem undergrads? They probably do, but with a 168 on the LSAT you would be quite competitive for a number of law schools.

Just curious, what other languages are you familiar with and how did you get UMPI to waive that requirement? Congrats on starting your journey this month, it's great you've previously posted a bit already about your overall educational goals and given some insight on where you're at, especially good as you haven't completed the UMPI degree because of the following...

1) UMPI BLS is off limits, that degree needs to be the first degree, it can not be the second.
2) It seems you're looking at 60 undergraduate graded credits and you're not going to apply with the Bachelors from China.
3) Georgia Tech and the potential institutions you apply to, including the law schools, will know about your NAU MCIT.
4) A 168 on the LSAT is at least a top 90%, a 173 is 99% as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_School_Admission_Test
5) WGU is a great alternative option, it's exclusively online, but they're non graded using a pass/fail grading system

Continue on with the next LSAT exam in August, if you get a higher score, great job in advance! Since you mentioned a third session at UMPI, here's a pathway.
1) Add the pre-law minor to your BBA, also add an additional concentration or major. UMPI BCS comes out at the end of the year, hopefully.
2) You hit all the boxes, newer 168+ LSAT, 60+ graded credits, you get the BA and CS double major, and whatever remaining requirements.

Just a heads up....you cannot complete a BLS if you've already completed a BA at UMPI. You can add a minor to your BA.

I think they actually do accept non-stem undergrad, as long as you prove that you know basic stats, calculus and some linear algebra. And there is also a micromaster they partnered with edX, which grants 9 credits of the whole programs 36 credits. From what I heartd if you finshed that micromaster which will boost your chance of getting in a lot better. Hopefullly this helps!

For international student I have to submit a English language test results, which I used DET since it cost the least, and just work with the UMPI staff to waive that requirement, it is pretty smooth procedure. For me personally I am ethnically Mongol from Northern China, so I am native in Mongolian and Mandarin Chinese.  I guess which made me a Mongolian Chinese if spoken in a North American aspect like Korean Americans or Chinese Candians haha.

Thanks for the info on BLS has to be a first degree, maybe I would change my major, get my BLS in Pre LAW and get my BABA in the coming semesters. 

Speaking of NAU MCIT, I dont think it will carry much weight for my law school admissions but hopefully will on my OMSA.

Will be applying to Georgia Tech's OMSA after UMPI as well, backup plan for law school didn't pan out. I wish UMPI could provide CS/data/stats major as well... I mean I am aware that WGU exist, but I just have some preferences for schools have a actual brick and mortar campus.

UMPI is developing a Computer Science major with expected launch this year in Fall Term 2!

The poll is awkward because it compares something wide-ranging (law school, which could be online or on-campus, high-ranked or low-ranked, low-cost with a scholarship or high-cost) with something very specific (the Georgia Tech OMSA, which is online, high-ranked, and low-cost).

Sorry that might need more clarity, I am looking for a on campus, as highly ranked as possible yet some what affordable law schools.
