I’m non-traditional student who really messed up when I first started college in 2010. I understand it’s not an excuse because many have worked and did well in school but I eventually dropped out in 2012 because I was unable to manage my time which led to poor grades(I’m talking about F’s during my last two semester).
In lieu of school, I opened my own restaurant which did very well, I was able to expand my restaurant and then decided it was something I did not find very fulfilling despite decent income. So, I sold the restaurant to my sister and went back to school in 2018, I did better this time around graduating with cum laude. As an undergrad I worked as a university tutor for organic chemistry which have earned me 2 glowing evaluations from science professor, obtained more than 200+ shawdowing hours and was even picked up to work as a dental assistant earning another 2 evaluation from dentists.
I concerned because of my academic background from nearly 10 years ago which diluted my gpa if we’re talking about the both transcripts as a whole my gpa is a 3.11. If we’re just talking about my most recent transcript from UIC than it’s a 3.6.
Apologies in advance for terrible english, it's not my first language.
