😖 Frustrated

Just had the most discouraging consultation

Adding this here aswell lol. Just consulted with a law school admissions "expert" who told me even though I have a bachelors and masters in criminal justice (i plan to go into public service/ criminal law) and 4.0 LSAC GPA that i have absolutely no chances of getting into my target schools part time programs (highest is ranked 63rd and lowest ranked in the 100s so not t20 or anything) because my LSAT is significantly poor especially in comparison to my transcripts. i also have 2 years of work experience in the legal field as a paralegal. she told me to basically throw my whole app away and wait until next cycle to apply.

do i take the january lsat and apply later in the cycle? i have all my other materials set. is january even considered late for part time programs with march/april/may/june deadlines? any input helps!
