Hello,

I am interested in applying to UM although I am in need of direction, I graduated High School in 2004 and have worked in retail sales for a few years and now made my way up to head Footwear Buyer of our Men’s Lifestyle division. I am very successful in my field of work, although I regret the choice to not attend UM at a younger age, as I am now 29 years old. Could you advise as to what route I should take to gain admission as a full time student? Obviously I would be putting my career on hold but I feel it would be a great investment.

A concern of mine would be my high school GPA, as well as obtaining a letter of recommendation from a teacher as I have not had contact with any high school classmates. I have an outstanding professional career that I feel counters the decisions I made while in high school… I really need guidance and clarity as to how I am able to quantify everything.

Thank you for your time.

Best,
