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.
