Hi! I am in need of some advice regarding taking a gap year.
I have applied for the 2024 cycle to 6 schools. My resume, LOR's, personal statement & GPA is strong but my LSAT score is not where I know it could be. I was rushed into applying but now I feel like a gap year may be more beneficial to me. I would take the year off, live at home, study for the LSAT, save money and work at a law firm where I am working now. Overall just take time off from school but get to where my LSAT score can help me get more financial aid. However, I have already applied. I am waiting for decision emails to come back and I am wondering if there would be a way to postpone admissions? Or if after applying then taking a gap year looks bad come 2025 admissions cycle? I don't know if there is a way to do this or if anyone has done this before.
Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated :) ! Thank you!
