…but i was more than happy with a 170 and wanted to apply KJD so decided to roll with it. GPA: went from 3.98 to 4.0 halfway through my cycle thanks to fall semester grades. communication-esque B.A. at a relatively prestigious public university with a minor in english lit. total of 3 ‘withdraw’ grades over 4 years of…

…statement. Otherwise, I was a fairly standard KJD-adjacent applicant (graduated May 2023), with lots of extracurricular involvement and some internships but nothing crazy in the way of work experience. If I had to guess this would be one of the reasons I struggled with H/Y/S/C, but who knows. I had a very hard time…

…taking time off before applying to law school (not KJD) If I were to do it again, I would have never applied to law school straight out of undergrad. My senior year would have been far less stressful // more fulfilling having focused on job applications, and then only start studying LSAT once out of college. For me,…

…to me so that’s what I prioritized. PRE-CYCLE NOTES (Super KJD) I entered undergrad with most of my first-year gen-eds fulfilled by AP credit.

…the t3, i think i would have wondered about applying kjd. if you can take time off, and especially take time off and get work experience, it’s rarely if ever a bad idea to do so. i didn’t have a great reason for going straight through; i wanted to do the lsat while i was still in test-taking mode from undergrad, and…

Moral of the story is shoot your shot. I am super KJD (graduated at 19) and I’m not sure if that had any affect on my decisions. I don’t think it did so ¯(ツ)/¯

I took a year off for R&R, so no real work experience but not kjd either. If you need more time to think about the ASU full scholarship, ask them for a month extension.

**Please please PLEASE take time off in between undergrad and law school! ** So many KJDs just want to go straight through “to get law school over with” or “not waste time because they’re 100% sure they want to be a lawyer.” And while the latter may be true for some, there is so much you learn—about yourself, your…
