Personally I found it more manageable financially than going to a school like NWCU Law.

Most people advise against LLM programs, but that's advice for foreign lawyers.
Many LLM programs also allow you to transfer into JD programs, which might help you circumvent your issue with undergraduate credits.

I know foreign LLB to T50 LLM school graduates who have been admitted to the bar and have become successful attorneys. With that said, they were foreigners. If you are a US citizen, I would explore all options at US ABA-accredited programs T100++, including Puerto Rico, before going that track! I'm not an attorney, but from my personal experience in the medical field, there is too much bias and challenges in the US towards foreign graduates, and if your goal is to "practice" in this country, then go to a school within the US or its territories, period! There are fewer hoops to jump through! My interest in law is not going to law school, although I have considered it. I have been looking at programs like these and considering legal nurse consulting as I see more and more job offerings in this area. https://health-law-strategy.nyu.edu/

Not to hijack the thread, but any advice is appreciated.

I didn’t know these degrees existed. They sure look interesting especially for those who want to look for opportunities in regulation & compliance. 

My LLM cohort were mostly foreign trained lawyers, and among them foreign students had the hardest time finding a job, let alone passing the bar (mostly due to visa issues, though). I would suggest trying a T30 LLM first before doing a non-ABA school like NWCU Law.
