FrankieTheTankie '20–'21 app cycle Class of 2024 class year

My GPA situation is unusual due to non-trad developments; originally went straight to undergrad from HS with undiagnosed ADHD and just sort of left without graduating after 5 years with 2.33. Then after diagnosis and several years of very non-traditional work experience, I enrolled at community college and 4.0’ed for a couple semesters to get a decent top-50ish public state school to readmit me to finish (where I did very well, worked the whole time but also did a research assistantship, etc.). So my all-in cumulative GPA (the reportable one) is a 2.9, while my summary LSAC GPA on the same report is a 3.92. That is the biggest delta between cumulative and summary I’ve personally come across so far (and the grades break very neatly on either side of my time off–it’s like middling C student when I dropped out and straight A’s when I came back), so it’s a difficult split to assess based on other people’s experiences. Also, after graduating, I went straight to work in law as a corporate paralegal and have spent the last 10 years working in big private equity and midlaw firms; my recs are from my direct supervisors (C suite executives of public co with market cap in billions), which (I’m told) were egregiously gushing. No school extracurriculars because I had a job and was an adult when I went back but have served on several nonprofit associate boards and in the leadership of state paralegal association for last several years.
