Aspiring for Law School, even though I received a low GPA a lifetime ago...

<p>I'm 39 years old and received my undergraduate degree in Broadcasting 16 years ago, and I have been strongly considering the prospect of enrolling in Law School. </p>

<p>Here's the problem, my undergraduate performance was poor and unremarkable. It was a difficult time in my life and I believe I graduated with something close to a 2.4 GPA. It feels like a lifetime ago now and, like most serious-minded adults in their late 30's, I bear little resemblance to the young man who failed to take his education seriously the first time around.</p>

<p>I'm wondering if a well-reputed law school will take the elapsed time into consideration, especially if I perform VERY strongly on the LSATS this October as I intend to. My top choice school at this time would probably be Rutgers/Newark. Can anyone provide objective feedback on my chances and what else I could do to be a seriously-considered candidate?</p>
