I'm thinking about applying for M.Div. programs. My main concern is that my undergrad grades are abysmal. I graduated with about a 2.85, which put me pretty near bottom my class. I was an engineering double-major and a D1 athlete at a top school, but a 2.85 is a 2.85.

I also have a J.D. from one of the top 5 law schools in the country. I had pretty strong grades and graduated in the top quarter of my class. Will my law school grades help me much, or will schools just focus on my undergrad record? I know in law school admissions, at least, grad school records count for next to nothing. Are divinity schools the same way?

For whatever it's worth, I'm a strong standardized test-taker, and I'm pretty confident that I can get 700+ on both sections of the GRE. I'm most interested in YDS, HDS, Episcopal Divinity School, Union, Duke, Candler, and VTS. Not interested in ordination. What are my chances like?

Thanks for the help.
