TESU BSBA CIS, law school, and GPA

They promised to have someone call me back.  Five minutes later, a different pushy sales-guy calls back.  Yuck.  I have lost all interest in UMPI.  TESU never had skeezy sales people call me.  Just my two cents.

I'm in a bit of a unique situation since I can only reasonably apply to one law school for a combination of geographic and financial reasons.  So, rather than wonder, I called them.  They said that there are many other students in my situation and if any application came with a strong LSAT and no LSAC CAS provided GPA, they would look at the original transcripts.  They pointed out that I would not be alone.  Many other students were in similar positions.  I asked how I might be able to evaluate my chances of admission without the LSAT+GPA tools and I didn't get a straight answer, but I got the feeling that I was being encouraged to apply and was reassured again that there were many students in the same position.  I don't know if that helps anyone else, but I thought I'd try to give back a bit to the forum that has been so helpful to me.  

I have decided continue on my current path and shift slightly to take more courses through straighterline where they give letter grades if the course is in my strong areas of reading, writing, history, or language.  For the areas where I struggle like algebra and statistics, I'll stick to pass/fail.  If it turns out that at the end of this whole ordeal that I get a BSBA CIS from TESU and can't get into the ABA approved law school near me, I'll revisit this problem, but with a few more tools at my disposal.  I may retake a handful of courses for a letter grade if I don't make it into law school the first time around.  I think that if I can pull off a strong LSAT and show an undergrad degree hodge-podged together throughout my thirties, they'd be fools to deny entry.

They're not scummy sales people. They are enrollment counselors. The admissions counselor for YourPace is out on maternity leave right now. What are you looking to know about transferring? Most colleges will provide limited info about transferring until you've applied and they can see your transcripts. 

What can they sell you on? The application is free at UMPI.
