Non-traditional Undergrad/Grad - No GPA

Post by netzer0 » Sun Feb 24, 2019 1:08 am

Does anyone have experience or knowledge about applying with essentially no GPA? I completed by a Bachelor's and MBA from Capella University online using their FlexPath program (both on full tuition scholarships). This is somewhat of a new concept and does not give traditional grades, and thus I do not have a GPA. My transcript lists performance as "basic, proficient, or distinguished". Through both degrees I am 90%+ distinguished.

Assuming a 175ish LSAT (which I believe is completely realistic based on PT and time horizon) along with significant work experience, what are my prospects?

Thanks for your input.

Normally, I'd say that you'll be treated like an international student, but I'm not sure how law schools treat degrees from for-profit, online "institutions" (this isn't a dig at you--I have serious problems with the people who run these scams). You may want to call an admissions department at a school you're interested in and/or an admissions consultant to see how this will impact your application.
