<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a high school senior intent on entering law school after college. When would you think is the best time to start preparing for the LSAT? Freshmen year of during my undergrad year?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>If you wait until your freshman year of college to start studying for the LSAT, when do you expect to make the time to study for the bar exam?</p>
<p>Seriously, first things first. Breathe. Enjoy your senior year. Date. Get admitted to a college. Study subjects that interest you. Keep an open mind about possible career paths.</p>
<p>I started studying for the LSAT the summer before my senior year of college, took the test that fall, and got my scores Thanksgiving weekend. A year later, I filled out my law school applications. A year after that, I started law school. </p>
<p>Don't be in too much of a hurry, to study for the LSAT, to take the damn thing, or to start law school. Twenty years into my law practice, I can assure you that I've never said to myself, "If only I had gone straight from college to law school, I could have had 21 years of experience practicing law by now!"</p>
<p>Greybeard is absolutely correct! :) Great post. </p>
<p>I started studying for the LSATs during spring semester of my senior year... of college. I realized I wanted to go to law school the spring semester of my senior year... of college. It all worked out anyway. One of my good friends started studying for the LSAT while working on his master's in engineering. I know someone else who took the February LSAT three years after graduation and sent all his apps in after the deadline, because he couldn't stand the thought of being in his job for another year.</p>
