My LSAC uGPA was worse than I thought when I ran it through a calculator. I need to delay my graduation and get that number up for sure or I'm cooked. Cancelled my application. Can I declare an AA in business and get loans in the Fall semester? They said I can't get Pell since I met my BLS requirements. Apparently, adding more minors doesn't count, can't use grants for that either (at least according to the person at the financial aid office I talked to)

I'm feeling really insecure about this. I've worked at public libraries since 2011, but mostly as a shelver, with five years working in customer service. The actual work is a lot of sorting/shelving carts, emptying bins, taking fine payments, helping people print and fax stuff, filling displays/cleaning up, and setting up accounts.

Does this even count as the type of work experience that's useful for law school applications? It feels stagnant being in my 30s without any leadership/committee roles, office experience, or anything. Will it be a point against me?

Aiming for my local school as my top choice and online hybrid programs like JDInteractive.

I'm looking for some electives I can finish by August 28th. Does this one have a lot of writing?

Help I only have TWO classes before I graduate and I'm pretty much done with one. The other I'm taking with Professor Anabela Medes and she's SO slow, it's been over a week since I submitted the first few milestones. She ignores emails even when I added my advisor, it's like she forgot she's teaching this class or something.

Getting nervous because if she's going to take another week or two to grade all seven milestones, then I'm going to run out of time for the final assessment. Leaves no time for revisions.

Is it feasible to drop this UMPI class, sign up for Sophia and take Spanish 2 on there and get it finished and processed before the session ends?

I know the school is accredited, but I mean the humans in adcoms who go through your application. If they saw a transcript where you finished, say, 20 classes in 16 weeks, is it a potential red flag for cheating or a lack of challenge? Would it look too unbelievable to them? I'm so paranoid about this in the age of AI.

32 years old. I've lived here my whole life, and I really want to stay in the community. I can't move because of my job, so my local school and online/hybrid programs are my only options right now. I had serious issues in undergrad with autoimmune disease and an undiagnosed learning disability, so my GPA is abysmal.

166

MEDIAN LSAT

25th to 75th percentile: 162 to 168

3.87

MEDIAN UNDERGRAD GPA

25th to 75th percentile: 3.62 to 3.94

EDIT: Thank you for all the advice! You guys are giving me hope. Going to study as hard as possible for the LSAT for sure.

My cumulative GPA is going to end up at a 2.8 as of now and I'll graduate with 180 something credits (I had bad semesters back in 2015-2016). Is it worth delaying my bachelor's conferral and going to my community college for 2-2.5 years to get maximum As (let's say adding 120 new credits) to get my GPA up. Thanks.

Trying to get into a MLIS/JD program or dual enrolled at two schools

I'm trying to look ahead to the application process post-graduation and I think it would be good to have a letter of recommendation. When do you think is the best time to ask (assuming I finish my degree in August)? Also how do you build your relationships with your UMPI professors without meetings, discussion boards, and that type of stuff? Thanks

I still don't know about what career, I originally wanted to do SSD but now I'm leaning more toward some type of archiving. Want to go to graduate/specialized school eventually.
