My experience is similar, I'm about 8 years out from undergrad and I'm making the turn to law school. Something to consider is why it's essential that you start in the Fall of 2027. I've delayed my application by a cycle in 2025 and when I didn't perform like I wanted in 2026 I rejected some bad offers and I'm applying again on day one of applications opening this cycle. When I let go of the idea that the job needed to be done "right now" it really improved the process for me. Write down the specific reason you want to apply this cycle and see how honest it is. Definitely give a shot for the LSAT and applications this fall but don't rely on it if you can. What is a single year in the course of a 30 year career? Thats just my perspective though.
