I'm 35 and a visual artist, working full time as an assistant to an established artist. No matter where we are in life, we can do this. My only caveat is to say that performing well on the LSAT can take a lot more time than expected, so try to remain flexible about your timeline. Preparing for the LSAT is a real test of one's commitment. I started prepping in the summer of 2016, thinking I could test in September. My first diagnostic score was a 143. I moved my test date to December, and withdrew after maxing out on PT's at a 159. I enrolled in a prep course a year ago, confident that it would get me ready for the June 2017 exam. After finally scoring consistently in the 161-166 range, I wound up getting strep throat the week of the test, sat for the exam and canceled my score. Finally I tested again in September and got a 154. I still applied to schools this cycle, but am landing on a lot of waiting lists. Resuming my studies again in hopes of being able to get off wait lists with a better score, or positioning myself more strongly to reapply early next cycle. Studying full time will probably improve your chances of making more progress in less time, but the key is to be patient and don't give up!
