WGU vs UMPI for law school
#3
(06-20-2024, 11:42 AM)TONY SOPRANOxPEPPER ANNE Wrote: The Law School Admissions Counsel (LSAC) states that in order to have an undergrad GPA, you need to have 60 graded credits from a regionally accredited institution.

The only issue with UMPI is that I'm a bit more than a year from their minimum age requirement.

WGU is on a pass/fail system, meaning my GPA would be null.

With UMPI, I could get 60 ungraded courses from Sophia, then (hopefully) Ace the remaining 20 courses at the university.

Thoughts/opinions? 

Also, If I go to UMPI is there anyway to prepare besides taking more ACE credits for the next year?

I would also dedicate 40-50 hours per week for either school, would it be possible to finish 60 credits in one of the
non-technical (businessadmin/liberal arts) programs in 6 months?

While you wait a year, Do all the prep for getting into law school (like practice LSAT exams), write your personal statements, etc, then start UMPI for law school because you need the GPA and WGU doesn't provide a standard GPA. note: a GPA alone is only part of the picture because a big portion of the students will be submitting high GPA, you need high LSAT, really strong motivation and personal statement (per law school), references, lots of research into each law school, etc. You should Target T-14 if you can get high enough score on your LSAT. Then, focus on T-20.
