Honestly, I've decided to take 2 gap years and it was the best decision I have made. 1.I was able to work on my mental health and take a break from a school. 2. I was able to get internships and work full-time in a law firm to gain experience. (this isn't necessary, but if you do decide to take a gap year, make sure you are doing something, volunteering or working bc law schools do not like to see a gap on your resume.) 3. I was able to increase my LSAT score by 20+ points. You don't lose anything, and if you are sure about why you want to do law and go to law school, the motivation of going to school will not go away!! I am motivated more than ever, and I have gained valuable experience about work/life balance and mental health. :)
