Semi-unique super splitter question

So my goal is to apply t-14 but I'm in a semi unique situation with my GPA. Over my last 20 practice LSATs I've scored a low of 173 and a high of 180. I'm expecting my official to fall somewhere in the middle. But my GPA is... not great.

I went to college right after graduating in 2013 I had undiagnosed autism and adhd, and was just generally unprepared for academic life. I got academically dismissed after my 3rd year (I had NOT passed 3 years worth of credits) with a 1.6 cumulative GPA.

In the 7 years since my dismissal I started a business that did multiple millions in sales (nowhere near that much in profit lol, it's an incredibly low margin industry), got married, had a kid, got treated for autism, and just in general learned much better habits. My dream had always been to go to law school, so I decided to reenroll in school to finish my undergrad. I've fairly comfortably earned a 4.0 in each semester since reenrolling. While my school technically "expunged" my transcripts of my old grades, but let me keep the credits toward graduation, obviously my CAS GPA takes everything into account. So as of right now the maximum GPA I can have by application season is a 2.49. A pretty significant gain from my 1.6 but nevertheless far below what I need to get into a t14

Finding information on what to do as a splitter has been difficult, because if we were only counting what I'd done since reenrolling last year, I wouldn't be a splitter at all. I would assume that because there's an 8 year gap between the two it's fairly explainable what happened, but obviously there are plenty of qualified applicants that get rejected from t14's each year.

I'm not sure what it is specifically that I'm asking, but I'm curious as to what thoughts or insight people can share about my situation. Anything is appreciated!
