<p>I know that I want to go into law, but I also know that I want to take about 2 years off after undergrad before heading to law school. So I am curious about admissions if you decide to take a hiatus. I know that the LSDAS holds information relating to the schools someone applies to...the recs, LSAT scores, transcripts, etc.</p>
<p>Still, is there a time limit for holding materials? Is a little over two years too long? If I were to get all my materials into place and then go on this hiatus I should be able to apply to law schools when I am ready...right?</p>
<p>I think that LSDAS holds your materials for five years.</p>
<p>Considering that the average 1L is 25 years old, I don't think it's an issue, unless it's an issue for more than half of incoming law students. Please, get the idea that you need to go to law school right after undergrad out of your head. One of my classmates is my mom's age. </p>
<p>The one problem you may encounter is getting recommendations from professors. LSDAS will hold three recommendations. When you are a senior, tell your profs that you're applying to law school but taking some time off. They can give you a better rec when they've had you in class recently. Also, things happen like profs go on leave, have kids, change schools, retire, and die. So get two recommendations while you're still in school; get the third from an employer.</p>
<p>I'm not too sure about the whole process, but it should be possible. My cousin was out of undergrad for about 2 years until she decided to even apply to law school.
Now, she just graduated from Law School and she's about to take the Bar Exam.</p>
