AngryMiniCar

AngryMiniCar

AngryMiniCar
16:58
You guys correct me if I'm wrong
AngryMiniCar
16:59
Hmmm if you didn't start studying I'd wait it out and take a gap year
NosyBeagle
16:59
I'd say take a year off to study and work.
AngryMiniCar
16:59
But that's all up to you
AngryMiniCar
16:59
It's gonna take a bit to study for the LSAT and see substantial improvement so

If you spend a couple months studying, take the test like summer/early fall then you could totally get a good score and dominate ur apps

As a young potential KJD applicant, there is absolutely no rush and potentially everything to gain by getting work (and life) experience for a year or three
AngryMiniCar
17:00
^^ mmhm
GratefulSpecialSloth
17:01
thank you guys!! and no i don't mind the gap year i just want to make sure i'm fully prepared
AngryMiniCar
17:01
Especially cause a good amount of your competition is gonna have at least 1 year of work experience ahead of you.
AngryMiniCar
17:01
Yesss take the gap
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

Unless you have like a 4.3 CAS GPA and crazy softs (softs are the non-quantifiable elements in your application that set you apart from others with similar stats)
AngryMiniCar
17:01
^^

But even so, enjoy being young, trying something you won't have time to try once you're a law student/lawyer
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
17:03
And that thing will make your application sparkle
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
17:03
It will also make you sparkle (hopefully!)
NosyBeagle

take it from me: don't rush to take the lsat while you're trying to finish school you're gonna get a poopy score, and have to try again later anyways so be smart and take a load off. you got this
GratefulSpecialSloth

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
