WGU vs UMPI for law school

[karehiro]

Seems to me that WGU would be the worst possible accredited school for law school since you'd have to explain in GPA addendum why you would pursue a degree without a GPA, and you'd also have to have an outstanding LSAT relative to other applicants to justify why they'd accept you. Even if you don't have 60 regional credits, its far easier for law schools to justify a TESU or UMPI (for example) graduate because at least they could see graded transcripts of the classes you do take at those institutions, unlike WGU's pass/fail model.

I think you should ask yourself what target law schools you're aiming for: T-14? T-20? T-50? A good regional school? I'd assume that you'd want a reasonable scholarship as well since law school can be incredibly expensive. Personally, I'd go for only schools giving graded credits (like UMPI - though in UMPI's case probably not so much since you'd have to delay - or TESU) if you're attempting to get into any T-20 or strong regional schools, and go for WGU if the ranking of the law school doesn't matter, or you have an incredibly strong LSAT.
