    If 32 at time of October LSAT counts as old then yes... Though I've met people almost twice as old as me online prepping for the LSAT.

    A mangorita toast to you!

    I'm 29; plenty of folks representing the "older crowd" around 7sage. Methinks it's one of the best parts about the community!

    Also I heard @DumbHollywoodActor is *really* old.

    *runs*

    I had to "edit" I was a year off.... That's the sign you are old: When you forget how old you are on accident.....

    We're playing it on the porch where we can best see kids that need to be scared off. And where they can best see the shotguns laid across our laps.

    I'm 48. Took a leave of absence from college (long story). Planning to take LSAT first, then finishing up undergrad. I hope there will still be earth left when I'm done with law school. Planning on applying to law school when I'm 51.

    Hoping to get in to T14, but I don't know if my age will be a factor. I'm almost done with undergrad (UCLA for those fellow Bruins) and currently have LSAC GPA of 3.989. I guess it'll come down to my LSAT. I SUCK at standardized tests, as I get WAAYYY TOO NERVOUS. FYI Started going to college when there was no Google. Everything is so much easier now.

    As my body falls apart, I figured I better use my brain quick before the empty nest syndrome. 49 yrs old - twin daughters currently working on common app essays for undergrad college admissions this Fall. Hope all 3 of us get scholarships or my husband is going to have a heart attack. Thank everyone for this great site for all of the info, dedication and support to achieve your dreams. As soon as I learn what Skype is, I will be in on BR sessions, lol.

    You just blew my mind a bit. We definitely had computers when I was in kindergarten (granted, that was in Silicon Valley in 1991).

    I'll be 29 in December. I actually met a 16 year old prepping hard and stressing for the LSAT. He'll be entering grade 12 in fall. Although it shows dedication on his part, it did make me wonder if there a minimum age for taking the LSAT? Lol

    Looks like one person has me beat. I'm 45. I'm finishing up my last year getting my undergraduate degree in peace and conflict studies. I'll be 46 when I graduate, and hopefully starting law school. I feel old some days.... but really, I'm so excited for my new beginning, that keeps me going. I really wanna dig into The Constitution, and shake up a few lawmakers... work on human rights, and be that voice for those who are unheard. But first... I got to get through this damn LSAT!!!!! UGH!

    I am 32 (I don't feel that old anymore after @rmdo shared his/her age). I have two boys, ages 4 and 5 months and they definitely without a doubt keep me busy! But they are my motivation in conquering this terrible test called the LSAT. I am seriously excited to start studying for the LSAT "again"...LOL! I just purchased the starter pack today! I took the LSAT five years ago and totally bombed it. For the life of me, I didn't understand and still don't understand why I didn't cancel my score. Anyway, I have been studying for the LSAT here and there but I haven't been very consistent. I bought the LSAT trainer which has helped clarify many things that I didn't understand before. I am actually hoping that I can and am able to solely rely on the starter course here since I fair well with online style of teaching/classes. I am looking forward to re-taking the LSAT in December or possibly February of next year. I guess it will all depend on how truly prepared I am for December. Good luck and much success to everyone here!

    41 here. I'm surprised to read I'm not the oldest! That's great. I'm an active duty Marine. I'll be retiring with 20 years of service in a little less than three years. Taking the LSAT this October so I have it out of the way. Then plan on retiring, using my GI Bill to fund school and just treating school as my job since I'll have my retirement check. That's the plan anyway :) Good luck to all!

    31 here. Been in the healthcare industry for over six years. I've quit my full-time job to go into contract work to reduce weekly labor hours in the hopes of boosting my October prep & app process (LSAT try #2 since 2013). I'm fortunate to have a high-demand occupation that allows me to do my thing at reduced hour while I try to figure out my life plan with law school. That is if anyone invites me to the party in 2016.

    Wow! I was sure I was the only person alive heading toward law school at 40. I'm excited to know there are so many of us. Does anybody have a good read on programs that are more receptive to and make a better experience for the older crowd?

    43 with two young kids (and single mom). This has been in the works for quite a while. I have very supportive employers, a career in mind (not family law btw), plus my ex was an attorney so I've witnessed what law school is all about from the sidelines. So there are plusses and minuses all around. I'm generally tired and slow, but it's *great* to be here.

    42 this fall with a daughter in college and a son one year from high school. Glad to see I'm not the only one starting late! I'm hoping to get 10 years' work in before retirement ;) One thing is clear at my age: I can't do student loans for it! If anyone has thoughts on financing a legal education in your 40s, I'd love to hear them.
