I'm fine with that. But wouldn't I still have to submit my previous bachelors degree and wouldn't it be calculated with my GPA? Even if I got a straight 4.0 my GPA would be around a 3.25....much better, but doesn't seem to be very competitive.

Overall, already stressed and defeated with this entire process and I haven't even begun! -Graduated in 2007 with a degree in History......and a GPA of 2.5. I honestly had no excuse for my GPA, I didn't know what I really wanted to do, I wasn't motivated, and barely skated by. It's a miracle I came out with a 2.5, I hardly studied or tried at all. -A few years later, unable to find a job, and with a degree that's useless, I joined the military. The military has instilled a deep sense of discipline, and maturity that I simply lacked before. I'm a completely different person now then when I graduated 8 years ago. The time has come however when it feels like my time has come, and I would like to transition back to the civilian world. -I absolutely want to transition into speech pathology, or another allied health profession at least. I worry that with my previous GPA, the whole process would just be a waste of time. The programs are all so competitive, and I honestly have very little to bring to the table. I worry that I'll waste my time taking pre-reqs and simply not be admitted to any programs. I saw a few other posts about people with lower GPA's being accepted, but almost all seemed to be above a 3.0 at least. With my current GPA, it doesn't even seem that most schools would even consider me. It feels like my Bachelors degree is just a huge burden that I can't shake. As I'm currently overseas, my options are limited for the next year and a half to online only. When I leave the military, I'm open to settling anywhere to complete this. I just don't know how to start.
