Graduating Early From Undergrad

lexxx745lexxx745 Alum Member Sage

Does graduating early from undergrad hurt your law school admission chances? Ive heard it both ways. the obvious being that graduating early means less experience. Could it also help by showing academic rigor?

    Instead of graduating a year early, I took time off to work and gain experience. I honestly don't know but it is definitely helping me with the applications right now because if I didn't take time off, I would literally have very few things to include for my resume or personal statement.

    I imagine if you graduate early, have a great GPA, great LSAT, your graduation time won't negatively affect you. I can't imagine why it would. In fact, I'm sure it is a sign of academic rigor. This is just anecdotal obviously but a girl from my college graduated a year early and went to NYU Law right after.
