I will be 36 if I get a great score this year.

I wish a great score was a sufficient condition to me being 36, again!

If I bomb this process, I'll be your paralegal. When I was a paralegal, the attorney said I was like Radar from MASH- I was always one step ahead of him.

Shannon, you are assuming that most of these youngsters know who Radar is and what "MASH" is!

I will be 63. Murray Shusterman practiced law until he was 104. That’s my goal. Right now I practice dentistry 40 hours/week. If the LSAT goes well this year I hope to start law school next year. I’m already taking Torts in a paralegal program. If I bomb the LSAT I will work as a paralegal; maybe for one of you!!

Well, I thought I might be the oldest on here but Steven beat me. I will be 55 if I get in for the 2020 cycle. After a long, successful career (that I will continue) in investment/wealth management I decided to finally scratch that law school itch and attend part time. I plan to add estate planning and minor business association/transaction work as an adjunct to my current practice as those dovetail nicely with the needs of my clients.

I have always wanted to go to law school but 4 kids, a wife who was pursuing two post grad degrees and a very demanding job made for great excuses not to go. Fast forward to the present, my oldest two sons are finished with college (actually, #2 graduates in May but has already started his full time job) and the younger two are finishing their freshmen year in college (yes, they are twins). My wife and I were having a "what do we do now with all of this time and a quiet, empty house" conversation, as most new empty-nesters have, and she brought up the idea of me going to law school. Instead of a rational response for a man my age such as "No, that's crazy" my immediate reply was "I would love to!"

I relish a challenge, I love learning and I do not want to regret at least not trying. Even if I don't end up attending I have thoroughly enjoyed studying for the LSAT. The material has engaged my mind in a very different way than spreadsheets, statistics and trading screens. I look forward to logging into 7Sage every day (or 5/6 days a week). The most daunting aspect regarding the path to becoming a lawyer is the prospect of taking the bar when I am 59 or 60.

You should write a book!

You have no idea how funny that suggestion is to my wife and me. She is the real writer in our household and she does have plans to write a novel some day. In fact she said if I do start law school it will be a perfect time for her to start her book.

How many pages of scratch paper for all the sections?

I believe it was a booklet of approximately 6 pages. Perhaps someone here had the foresight to count them. I know it was more than enough for me.

I haven't see anyone here or on Reddit mention the question about the train company moving the height of the power switch in the locomotive....did anyone have that question?

I liked the digital format. The stylus worked well for me. When practicing I got the feeling that not having to bubble would save me time and I found that it indeed did allow me some extra time.

Those that had problems with the tutorial right before the test......that was the same info that was give to us on the LSAC digital LSAT practice site. If you walked in and that was the first time you saw that info that is on you, not LSAC.

For anyone who did take it, I had three LR's. Does anyone remember a question about stickleback fish leading other fish?????

Really hoping so because that section was easy

I didn't remember getting this question so prob it was experimental

That sucks because I recall that being an easier question.

I had LG LR LR RC LR (Digital) at McKinney TX where we had tablets that were not charged enough. Props to the proctors in our room as they handled it as well as you could hope. We started a little late but nonetheless we did start and complete the test. Evidently the proctors also knew well ahead of time that their location would be digital.....guess we could have called a couple of weeks ago and asked!

In LR I DID have:

Lemur/oppsoing thumbs

Stickle fish experiment

Sperm whales

Europa (moon of Jupiter) craters smoothing out

Econometrics/Statistics class

Acidic sea water

bleached coral

Green tomatoes

In LR I DID NOT have:

Zebra

English trade

Haunted House

Napolean

Arsenic

Chinese tea

trucks and insurance

Ozone

Of the ones you mentioned, I didnt have: Lemur/opposing thumbs, stickle fish, Europe, and Green tomatoes.

im assuming these were all in the same section for you?

I wish I could remember....at my age I am just proud that I remembered that info at all, let alone what section it was! I am pretty certain it was one of the last two sections, not the first for sure.

Whenever you end up going to law school it will be the right time. Whether it’s a year from now or 5 years from now.

Funny thing about life is that it all works out somehow. Take it from someone almost twice your age who is considering going to law school.

@ Life isn't fair and the wealthy/well off will always find a way to game the system. Welcome to America and being an adult. Don't let someone else's shitty game mess up your groove. They can't game their way into a good personal statement or having diversity.

Actually, a good personal statement can indeed be bought, diversity, not so much, but some have tried.
