Thanks. In law school, I got Ds the first semester, Cs and C pluses the following semester. Technically, each grade by itself was considered "passing" (a D will pass) but my overall GPA was too low to continue as a student.

Caffeinated, why should I not tell? Would they hold it against me? I would rather tell them, so I don't have it hanging over my head after I get admitted. If they want to hold it against me after 25 years, I probably wouldn't be happy as a student there anyway.

Thanks. However, my grades were bad enough that I was not allowed to return to the law school after 2 semesters. I'm worried my transcript will say "academically dismissed" and this will look bad to grad school admissions people, even though it was almost 25 years ago. A lot has happened in between then and now, I would like the school to not consider this transcript at all. Have people who were dismissed from schools for academic reasons, had a much harder time getting accepted into any graduate schools?

I completed a college degree about 25 years ago then went to law school for two semesters. I did not do well in law school and left with a GPA below 2.0. (Law school is really hard). However, my college GPA was over 3.0. I've been taking some college courses here and there, and want to become a speech language pathologist, which requires a master's degree. When I apply, how should I explain the two semesters of law school where I did not do well? Or, would the master's program overlook this since it was almost 25 years ago? Would they even want this transcript? I have since made As in my relevant courses for a speech therapy - biology, etc. which I have taken over the past 2 years.
