Self-study
Hello, is anyone here applying for 2027 cycle but studying now? I graduated unviersity in APpril 2025 and taking a year off but it seems that beginning law school in fall of 2027 is more than a year off because I would be applying fall of 2026? anyone have any advice? I'm 24 and fear that its too late

Hello! I am in the exact same boat as you. I'm 23, graduated undergrad May 2025, thought I would be ready to apply for fall 2026, I was mistaken. I have decided fall 2027 is the better path for me. I have been studying since April 2025 and my goal is 165+ - Let me know if you would like to connect :)
@SerenaYounes Hi serena! I would love to connect! also are you in Canada?
I am in the exact same boat as you, same age, same graduation! Let me know if you want to talk?
34 and applying same time as you, don't sweat it
Just turned 40. Applying for Fall 2027. It's never too late. You got this!
I'm also applying for the 2027 cycle and graduated basically in 2023. Feels weird and late but I wanted to work first and save up. My friends already in law school have plenty of older classmates which makes me feel better. Never too late.
Me reading this at 39. I am also applying for 2027 after a decade long break.
We are going to be fine. We are not too late, everything is happening the way its supposed to. Im also applying for fall of 2027 and I graduated college May of 25' and just recently turned 23. We are gonna do fine!!!! #Congradulations to us in advance
@SanaeB. exactly my situation too!
Its never too late to chase you're dreams, you got this!!!!!
Me! I'm graduating in Apr of this year but applying next cycle. We got this
Hello! I'm wrapping up my 'senior' year and planning to apply in 2026 for a 2027 start. I'm currently 40 so I'm team it's never too late. They stress pretty regularly the value add admissions feel real-world experience is and you have a full year to get some great work/volunteer experience in.
@AshleyStrudel good point!
Hi, yes! I also graduated college this year and will be applying next fall for 2027. Switched my career plan and so inevitably will be taking those two gap years. :) You are on the best path for you!
@gsimmons1 all the best to you!!!!! thank you
You are just on time, my good friend. I'm 31 and will be 33 when I go to Law School. You got this.
@AdamLaw that's amazing!!!
You're not too late. I'm 27; I'll be 29 in 2027. Graduated college in spring 2020. I wish I would've gone to law school sooner, but covid, not really knowing what I wanted to do, and trying to keep my life moving in other ways outside of my career has delayed me. It is tough not to feel like its too late, but the time I've had since college has lead to lots of personal growth, and honestly, I think I might have ended up regretting it if I'd gone straight out of undergrad. Trust me, 28 doesn't feel so old once you actually get there!
@cfishman same story as me!!
@cfishman thank you! this means a lot to know other people are on the same boat! wishing you all the best
Me!!! I turn 40 in January and plan to take the June 2026 LSAT. I've been in a relationship with the LSAT for over a decade, but life happened and things got delayed. I always think to myself "delayed not denied" and try to shake off the timeline I've created in my mind. You've got this!
@lindsxmas wow! I wish you the best on this process! you will be able to achieve everything you want
@NadineShaan Thank you so much! I wish you the best, too. WE CAN DO THIS!
@lindsxmas @NadineShaan Agreed and Same...Delayed not Denied. I'm 31 and have had a crazy ride with LSAT since 2016. Also, I have gained valued work experience in the last 9 years. I graduated in 2016 and plan to take LSAT in 2026 once more test dates are released.
Hi! 36 year old here, applying for the 2027 cycle. I promise you, it's not too late. I am reapplying after taking several years off of law school due to family matters and my dad's passing. That extra time between graduation and starting law school can be so useful in terms of life experience, and it buys you some extra time to get your score up. Make the most of it. The whole experience will be very worth it.
@AddiSires thank you for the advice! appreciate it
