Is this possible or a far away dream?

[HonuDiver]

Hello!

My GPA wasn’t the best and I have attended other colleges throughout my life. It’s never “stuck” but recently I decided my dream was that I wanted to go to law school (I turned my life around) but I never thought it was possible with my history of bad grades. Then I got to thinking I need to take a bunch of credits to get a better grade. I was originally thinking of using UMPI to get an undergrad but now I’m wondering if it would be possible to use it to boost my GPA. Or if there are other schools that are self paced and graded to get my GPA up. I don’t need anything fancy for law school - I’ve considered liberty or somewhere with a low/moderate acceptance rate. 

Thanks!

UMPI is a great option for you! They accept students with GPAs from a 1.75 and upwards: https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/admissions-requirements/

People here have had great success going to law school after graduating from UMPI. It's totally doable. I may be wrong about this part, but I do recall individuals in the past discussing about if one's GPA is lower than that, there is another step in the process to evaluate your readiness for the program. 

There are other ways to boost your GPA through alternative credit sources, such as with ASU Universal Learner if there are any roadblocks (my mom started her first college course here at 59). 

But as always, we recommend that you do Sophia first to knock out your Gen Eds followed by Study.com for electives not found there and major/minor requirements. Good luck!
