Hi,
First time poster with a low GPA...
I have a very sub 3.0 uGPA. Deal is I graduated 20 years ago with a 2.52 GPA with a BS. No real excuses, other than not putting in the time and having too much fun. Now, I'm 42 and would like to earn a masters to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My undergrad was an unrelated field.
I see a few issues. Obviously, my GPA is crap, and not sure how I could obtain LORs. Even if I could find a professor or two, they won't remember a sub-par undergrad from all those years ago. I live near Salem State University in Salem, MA and would apply there. Honestly, do I have ANY chance of being accepted with my garbage GPA, no professor LOR's, even if I ace the GRE or MAT? Even professional letters will be tough, as I worked for my family's business for 15+ years.
I'm going to meet with someone at the school soon, but curious what the folks here think?
Thanks!
