Hello folks!
I'm a junior in college, however, due to some family business problems I'm completing my BS online. The school is regionally accredited and also has a campus ( I attended it during my freshman year), and since I got a scholarship I don't want to transfer somewhere else. I know this question has been asked a thousand times but I am unsure about the answer.
Will Adcomms look down upon my degree? How much will this effect my chances for admission? My goal is T14.
Thanks!

Re: Online UG - Disadvantaged?
If the USNWR doesn't care... the school won't. GPA is a GPA in the admission folks' eyes, unless you're looking at HYS, etc. I would logically assume they might care. I don't know what range of schools you're looking at. I am at Iowa, we have one online degree student in our 1L class. FWIW, I am pretty sure she is top third of the class.
Could you turn the whole "reason why I got an online degree" into a compelling personal statement? Silver lining....

As long as it's also regular accredited, you're fine.HelenOmbre wrote:The school is regionally accredited and also has a campus
It's not like your degree is going to say "online student" anyway. Even if it did, law schools probably wouldn't care.

It won't matter. Beyond that, if your UG has a campus, they probably won't be able to tell the difference anyway. I doubt it's mentioned anywhere on your transcript.HelenOmbre wrote:Hello folks!
