The main reason for me going back to finish a degree is to get into law school. I read on here and confirmed on the LSAC website that unless 60 of my credits have a letter grade, the LSAC won't generate a GPA for law school applications. I've already done most of my degree on sophia.org and study.com. To get a GPA for law school applications, I would have to go back and re-take something like 45 credits at a community college which would double the cost and triple the time to graduation.
I'm currently still cruising through sophia.org courses. Here's my question and how I see the options:
1) I could go back to community college, re-take lots of courses in triple the time for double the cost to get enough graded credits to have a GPA appear. This is my least favorite option.
2) I could find another way to get graded credits that would transfer into TESU for BSBA CIS. I'd need the course to be online. Unfortunately, the ones I've found where this is possible are price prohibitive. Does anyone have an ideas here?
3) I could continue with my plan laid out in mostly sophia.org and study.com courses and apply to law school without a GPA and only an LSAT score. Does anyone have any insight into my chances? I'd be looking at UNT-Dallas College of Law. I'll spare you the reasoning. Does anyone have any insight into this particular school's requirements beyond what's posted on their website about general admissions requirements? Have they ever taken someone with LSAT only? I'm aware of the LSAT+GPA acceptance estimation tools. Is there any data out there that would show the chances of LSAT only applications?
Thanks in advance to the folks in this forum who helped me believe once again that I could finish this.
