I went back to a local community college in my 30s and have done well. I will get my associates degree in the spring with a 3.7 gpa. It was a long road back to school for me so I will provide some details. I dropped out of high school due to an extremely abusive home that came along with severe anxiety and depression issues. I received my GED shortly after and tried my hand at a different CC. I stopped attending classes and didn’t even bother withdrawaling. I went back again at 21 and left after a month due to anxiety. I went away to a hospital to get myself better (it worked) but again no withdrawals.
I’ve been fortunate to work in corporate America and ascend the corporate ladders with success. I found myself wanting more, career wise and I needed to pursue things I loved. I decided to go back to school to become a lawyer (bad decision. Haha). Here I am two years in with ok grades and am looking to transfer to a good school. I took the SAT and scored a tad higher than 1500. I am not sure how this reflects because I probably should have learned and forgotten this stuff 4x over by now.
Here is my problem. I had no idea that good colleges do not take transfer students who took online classes towards their degree. I really wanted to try and get into a good private school to finish my undergrad. Anyone have any advice or experience with anything like this?
Thanks!
