Looks like I should have read your whole thread before I posted.... Congrats!
Hey there,
I am in a similar boat as I just took my LSAT and was wondering how all my non-traditional classes would translate into a GPA. For me it is no longer an issue because Excelsior is now even attaching a GPA to my degree even though most of my credits are from the military.
However, my best-friend from highschool is a lawyer in NY and he went to WPI in Mass for is engineering degree. WPI does not give out letter grades, and LSAC (the site you will have to go to if you want to go to an ABA school) was able to take care of the fact he had no GPA.
GPA is important to a degree, it is your LSAT that will determine how much you need to worry about it.
Good Luck!
