I completed my bachelors a while back and it was awful. I could come up with a bunch of excuses, but I know nobody cares. 
 
	I'm now in my 30s and I'm doing a Mdiv at Gordon Conwell.  By the time I graduate and do a ThM i will be in my mid to late thirties. My question is: 
 
	How much will my terrible and undergrad from 10 years ago count against me? If i could manage to have an outstanding grad and postgrad career would I have a shot at a top tier school? 
 
	What would even be considered an outstanding postgrad career? 
 
	I'm a longtime lurker here and you guys are all awesome, I appreciate your input.
