I am in a position quite similiar to yours.... I have a 3.69 GPA in finance and a 169 on the LSAT. From what I have heard, it is going to be A LOT more competitive this year. Some people might say its not a big deal because you'll still get into a top 10 or top 15. But I think it is a huge deal, because if you can get into a top 10 this year, maybe you'd be able to get into a top 5 next year when the economy gets better (hopefully!) and people get jobs instead of applying to law school.
I am seriously looking into taking a year off and traveling. Living and working in another country can teach you more and open your eyes more than anything. We have all our life to go to grad school/law school, why not take a year and experience life?
I'd love to hear what others think... |

My parent's 2 friends are the dean of admissions to two of the top 15 law schools in the US. They told me that law school admissions are going to be up by 22% this year and expected to rise another 3% next year. All the schools know this, and with this information, they are going to be looking above what they look for in the past years. Its best to take 2 years off.
