TESU BSBA CIS, law school, and GPA

[Ideas]

This isn't an option - once you finish your first bachelor's degree, your GPA (or lack of GPA) is set in stone for purposes of law school.

Wow. Well, that would have been useful to know before I graduated. I read about LSAC and GPA back then, but this was left out.

Would a master's degree be beneficial for the GPA issue?

Tell me, how important is it really to have good grades (for example, GPA)? Is it enough to have well-developed skills and knowledge?

Here's the read-only link to my degree progress tracker on google docs.

The green items are completed and transferred into TESU from old community college stuff.  They may be too old to transfer again.

Purple items are completed.  Yellow highlight on the course name are currently enrolled courses with the purple provider indicating that I'm committed to that provider.  

You might notice that I tried to run some scenarios about community college courses with the "Y" in column G.  If they were done at via sophia/ace and have a Y in that column, it was a course that I found a likely equivalency at my local community college and I was considering retaking it there.  Cost is $79/credit hour or $237 per course.  I'm also assuming about $60 in books/licensing/fees, etc. per class.  That seems to be the average from historical data.

This is a live sheet and may change significantly in the future. 

I had not looked into ASU before.  I see that they have some EDx programs where you earn a grade and if you like it, pay $400 to add it to your transcript. That's definitely an option, but the cost will slow me down.

I was not aware that straigherline gave letter grades.  I assumed that ACE transfer came across as pass/fail.  I'm almost certain I read that before.  Maybe both are true and straighter line gives letter grades but ace sends it to tesu as pass/fail.  Is there another way to transfer?  

I hear flexibility as a recurring theme.  I'm not tied to the BSBA CIS or TESU beyond the aging community college credits that already exist.  The goal is to end up with a regionally accredited bachelor's degree of any sort with a GPA listed so that I can have a real chance of getting into law school.
