Would schools well outside the T14 even give bad uGPAs a second look?

I used the 7Sage calculator and mine is 2.39, so much lower than I thought, even with my upward trend of straight As.

My top pick is St. Mary’s in San Antonio, I love the campus and everything about that school.

If i get a high enough LSAT (aiming for the 170s to make up for the GPA), would it help at all? I’m seriously considering delaying graduation (been trying to get a degree for 10+ years and am way over maximum timeframe) and paying out of pocket to take a bunch of classes.

Can I ease up on saturated fat restriction a little bit?

I was strict at staying at 10 grams while on Repatha and ezetimibe, but got lazy these past few months and was eating a lot of dark chocolate, coconut, avocado, caprese sandwiches, stuff with more saturated fat than usual. LDL went from 20 to 25, which I was surprised by. I thought falling off like that would move my cholesterol 20+ points.

I still want to eat healthy, so I’m definitely not going to be going crazy with the fat, but does this mean I can ease up a little bit to 15 grams a day?

Anyone else learning better at UMPI?

After years of struggling, I‘m finally enjoying college again and am actually engaged with the course material. The online classes at my prev schools were almost entirely quizzes and discussion boards with an open book final at the very end, no essays. I’ve missed writing essays, I think it helps me retain information better.

I’m doing a BLS with a political science minor and am loving the classes so far.

What do you do in classes that require interviewing people and recording them?

Interviewing is one thing, but recording them for an assignment is going to be a tough sell. Especially if it can't be family.

Can you get a job as a corporate banking analyst with an undergrad from UMPI?

This is my dream job I've discovered, but I'm in my early 30s, kinda took forever to find the degree I'm most excited about. I'm doing a BBA with PM/IS and a minor in accounting. I want to work in corporate banking. Is it possible?

I'm interviewing with the financial advisor at a local Morgan Stanley branch for a part-time customer service associate position later this week. Kind of surprised I made it past the phone screening with the recruiter tbh. I've worked in a bookstore for years and have an A.S. in computer science, so not even related to finance. Will they focus on a lot of technical detail and finance knowledge? I've been researching Morgan Stanley and looking at all the FA's profiles on the website so I get a feel for the team. Anything else I should be doing?

Thanks for the help.
