[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are ignorant.  Most law schools (and also MBA programs) want the students to have had some sort of maturation process or paralegal-type jobs before entering into law school.  why? because the students are expected to engage in debate in the classroom.  A rube who just graduated from a slac and knows nothing about reality offers nothing in the Socratic method in a law school class.  Even Harvard wants to see at least 80 percent of its students have had some time off to pursue additional degrees or work-related experience. [/quote]

Aren’t law school app deadlines in October? So graduate with BA in May or June and apply to law schools in October. What “maturation” happened in those 5 or 6 months? :roll: [/quote]

No. They have rolling admissions and don’t close until March.  DS applied his senior year of college and had answers before finals.  Had he waited until the next cycle, he would then be a full year older at the start of classes.

I don’t disagree with you though. If they have the stats and letters saying they’re mature and ready, it’s frustrating to be passed over.[/quote]
