For those of us just starting to look into joining the legal profession, this is a real fear and concern. Would like to hear the opinion of tutors, practicing attorneys, etc that are seeing how things are changing in today's age.
@KristenLaPlante My mom and brother are ASL interpreters as well, that is pretty cool. Personally I am looking at contract law, maybe estate law, idrk yet though. Those are just things I feel I'd like. I have a seminar tmrw. Should learn more then.
@Mary Is this explained somewhere? Would be great to have a "How did we come up with this score" tooltip or something with this explanation. Which was great btw, tyvm
I would give my firstborn child to get in
Admissions officers hate this one trick.
But for real though, I would think if you have a 3.92 currently, you shouldn't worry about the academic failings at 13yo. If anything it shows you were able to experience a failure and solve the issue quite completely. I'd say focus on your LSAT score, get it as good as your GPA, and you should have as good a shot as anyone else.
And all else aside your non-academic reasons for this particular school will be a strong factor in your favor.
@L_123456 Thankyou! thought I was the only one that noticed this. The requirements are state to be for Genie+ pass access via the app. Its an assumption that the app is the only way to have access to the app. What if there was a physical card option? It would live outside the bounds of the stated rules here.
@SRay Yeah another assumption is the pass is only offered on the app. What about a physical pass. The argument states the requirements to pass access on the app only.
@AdamLaw Yeah the cost is gonna suck. At least part of it will need to be student loans, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
@ChristopherTobin Really, first I'm hearing of that. Is that the non-top schools? It seems like those are targeted at fresh grads
@HeathHughes Nice, I should have started this process last year so I could start this year. I don't think its feasible or recommended to try to get a start this August when just starting now.
@OmarAbuaita Awesome TY for that. One of the attorneys I know started practicing at 30, but I haven't met anyone who started school at 30. Yet. I'm going to an in person seminar at my local law school this Friday. Will see what the age ranges look like there.
@KristenLaPlante Wow that is great to hear. Definitely encouraging to see other people in similar situations. What type of law are you looking at? I wonder if there are better and worse types of law to practice at later stages in your life.
@EvanP7s i disagree. The conclusion is that not every mammal is a good pet.
All we need to do to prove that is find a single mammel that is not a good pet. Tiger
Now if it said most mammals, then it would be a different discussion
@kpalm1111 Yeah I thought this would be a "find the assumption" type question with the answer being "the only way to access the G+ pass is via the app"
@smallbrowngirl28 "can access via the app" and "must access via the app" are different and never specified which is frustrating. I was assuming there is a non-app (like a physical card) way of accessing/using the G+ fast pass. I guess this is an argument, but I think there are holes in it. The first sentence refers to a G+ fast pass and the rest of the paragraph only speaks of a G+ pass, with no indication they are necessarily the same.
@EmmaSmith Oh wow I missed the fast pass part. I got hung up on in-app access vs general access (like a physical access card). The propitiations and prostration were presented as requirements for in-app access to Genie+ pass, whereas the only requirement for general access of the Genie+ pass was just being a member of DVC.
I thought this would be a "which assumption must be true" question with something along the lines of "the only way to access the Genie+ pass is via the app". Bc nothing here technically disallows for a non-app access to the Genie+ pass. The propitiations and prostration were presented as requirements for in-app access to Genie+ pass, whereas the only requirement for general access of the Genie+ pass was just being a member of DVC. If I had read all the premises I would assume the conclusion would be "Therefore Walt must only have a physical Genie+ pass and does not have in-app access". How are we supposed to know that the "via the Disney app" is an irrelevant qualifier here?
@APBookninja Thats awesome, good luck on the June LSAT. Are you seeing a lot of improvement in drills/practice since the January one? Has 7sage been really helpful to you. I'm only a day in, but I really like the platform. Imagine if actual education platforms were built this well! And yea, I'm hoping that its not actually that rare to start law school at an older age. It can definitely be a bit discouraging seeing all these young kids getting started so young.
Oh also: I've just started, got suggested a 15-week pace. If anyone else is starting right now on the same pace, lets be study buddies/an accountability group to stay on track
I'm a software engineer, and this is essentially the difference between ">" and ">=". Which is a common small bug coders run into when being sloppy. Which sucks because I fell for it. I was so confident in C. I didn't even read down to E. I guess lesson 1 will be "Read all the answers" lol
Hi everyone. Studying law is something that I've always wanted to do. I have a few family and friends that are attorneys and always enjoy discussions with them, both in general and about the law that they practice. It's always been an attractive career to me; however, I went to school for computer science and am currently a software engineer.
While I do love that job as well, I don't know that it will be my forever career, and I have been looking to make a career change into other fields that interest me, while retaining software engineering as just a hobby. Hobby programming is when I enjoy it the most anyway.
However, at this point in my life, I'm five years out of college. I started college two years late, and did a 4 year degree, so I'm almost 30 years old now. I may be able to do complete law school in three years, but in order to keep working at least part-time to support my family, I may need to do a four-year evening program at my local college's law school. If I study for the LSAT and start school next year (Fall '27), I would be done in 2031, at 35 years old. I'm all for it, but want to be practical. If this is a fool's errand, I'd like to at least know before I get started.
This is something I really want to do, and if I had no other concerns, I would just quit my job and get into the best 3-year law school I could and just enjoy it. With other responsibilities, I'm wondering though if this is even feasible. If anyone here has done something similar or if they know someone who's done something similar and made it work, would love to hear about that experience.
For what its worth, I'm historically a pretty strong (though unapplied) student and learner in general, although I can definitely tell I'm not as sharp as I was 5+ years ago :( But thats just to say I don't have pre-existing struggles with academics that would hinder me further in this.

@HeathHughes yeah I wish I’d started last fall so I could go to school this fall, but it seems its too late for that now.
