I’m an older returning student to academics. I have 17 years of dental laboratory experience. My first attempt at college was back in 2004-2007, not full time courses but class here and there. I was not a good student then.
Any ways. I returned to school basically starting at the beginning, earned my BS in Biology at UCR, 2.75 gpa, all while either working full time at the dental lab or while completing 2 years of undergrad research. I was told I got denied because they factored my gpa with grades were 15-20 years old. Thought their “holistic” approach would have at least gotten me an interview.
This hurts.
