I would be interested in some feedback on my current situation
I am 31 years old and performed poorly in my early undergraduate career (2.0 Kent State University). I never graduated. I soon held two management positions over a few years. In 1994 I established a very successful landscape development firm, established annual sales in excess of $1 million and supervised 30 employees. Lack of fulfillment caused me to return to Cleveland State University in 2003 while still operating the business. I have maintained a 3.48GPA since my return (total 84 credit hours). I have many community/volunteer activites in my resume, etc. Everything looks good but my cum GPA is only about 3.0 and a 150 lsat. I have provided excellent statements, recommendations and explanations.
Is this substantial “wow” factor? I have applied to all the D.C. schools, Northwestern and a couple safety schools.
Also, if I have to go to a safety school, based on your understanding, is it reasonable to expect to get into a top 20 school as a transfer with a superior first year under my belt?
Thanks
