Well, for my good news of the day....
I talked with the admissions for Northwood and without saying it straight out, he said I wouldn't have trouble getting admitted into the program I want in. Plus, I did let it slip that my mom is an alumni as well as the GM where I work.
*phew* I was sooooo worried that those classes I bombed when I went to UNT many moons ago were going to keep me out.
