Hello,
Great article on the LSAT Blog about Work Experience and Admissions.
I had a few follow up questions as an undergraduate Senior.
While the deferral policy of postponing law school to work for a year or two was mentioned at Harvard Law-....How commonplace is this type of deferral policy elsewhere within the T14?
This option seems appealing as I could get valuable work experience for a year or two after graduation and be a more mature 1l when i start- while having an acceptance offer at the same time
(Post grad work experience for me would be for personal growth reasons, not to seek any admissions boost, although it certainly would be a positive).
I personally would not be surprised if work experience plays a larger role in admissions moving forward with students struggling to find jobs out of law schools after graduation as even the Top 6 law schools have not been immune to the drop in both LSAT takers and applications
