Basically, with the little info you have on Sophia.org, it's not a real indication of what will happen in the next little while until you get the UMPI degree. If you've got a high GPA, high LSAT score, a comprehensive and competitive or rounded application, your chances are higher. Your main goal is to get a higher score for the GPA at UMPI for 60+ credits, you can also strive for a higher grade at Sophia.org, but those most likely would be omitted in scoring.
I appreciate the response. You've confirmed for me that I do need to work harder at Sophia and do at least 60 credits at UMPI.
I finished high school in the Caribbean at the highest ranked high school in my country (we rank schools there based on student performance) and received a GED in the US. I did receive a full scholarship to a US university but due to family issues was not able to attend. When I finally arrived in the US my best option was to get my GED and enter into the job market.
I was able to find a spreadsheet here that basically answered my questions and put me on a path to my degree. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan
As for Sophia, after the history and ethics debacle, I've consistently scored higher than 90% in the rest of my courses. I am also slowing down a bit to fully study and take this more seriously as my initial thought was that Sophia was a "cheat sheet" to get college credits and now am of the mind that the courses there have actual real world applications and are not just a tool to get into college cheaper or faster.
I do think due to my life, circumstances, experience and eventual grades getting into law school would difficult but not impossible. I really appreciate this forum because I was going to pay someone $500 for what was given here for free. You guys are amazing.
