Okay, let's stick to the topic. So 136 is a bad score, therefore; I need to rewrite the LSAT. That's what I'm gathering. So you're saying it's impossible to get in with a 136, so don't even bother trying.

I'm not sure what the admission requirements are for president but I think increasing your LSAT score a bit would make you a more competitive applicant.

Regretfully, I’ve cautioned people against Windsor Dual in the past. But in my defence, that was before I realized how lucrative becoming the next President of the Philippines could be.

I would rewrite the LSAT. Even if a school is holistic, you are still competing against hundreds to thousands of other applicants. You should aim to have as competitive stats as you can to increase your chances of acceptance.

You can always try with your current stats, but if you do not get in (most likely wouldn’t), that is $$$ down the drain in application fees and a lost year of opportunity.

How do you expect to run a country when you can’t figure out that a 136 is too low for admission?

You’re giving politicians way too much credit.

I’m 40-mid-ish and am starting as 1L this year. Life can get boring around the mid-point, so having a second career is a thing. President is a classic second career move.

Indeed. I am glad this change occurred before I wasted time attempting to write an actually useful reply about my experiences as a mature student!

Thank you for the honest answer, all I needed to hear.

LSAT isn't everything buddy, and shouldn't define you as an applicant and as a person.

I know so many law students who've done well with their LSAT but were mediocre law school students. I also know some people who had low to average LSAT scores who came out as Dean's listers and graduated at the top of their class.

Bunch of jerks in this forum, I was asked I wanted to do and I gave an honest answer. Not so mature after all.  🤣

Even if this was at all true, and not just a continuation of your trolling, a low to average LSAT score of admitted students is still significantly higher than a 136.

With access to this trove of surprising data, I'm surprised you turned to us immature jerks for guidance!

You're not getting in anywhere with a 136 LSAT. If you're serious about applying and you're not just trying to waste everyone's time, then you need to re-write the LSAT.

I want to run as president for a country that is based on US law, but has some parliamentary features like that in Canada.

Also, I worked for US firms my entire life, so definitely I can see a future in the USA as an option.

you're trolling, right?

Sounds like a semi-presidential country. Closest one to us and America is Haiti. My money is on that.

I'm not 33 but when I started law school I was 27 (I'm 29 now). I gotta say that as someone who was 3-4 years older than most of my class mates, I did find them a bit annoying! lolllll... I'm just being honest here. I did gravitate more towards people who were closer in age to me. Law school, at least from my experience, has a very high school like and childish environment. Would I not go to law school because some students act like they're 12 years old? absolutely not! I am so happy I decided to work for a few years between my BA and law school. I also think that my MA and past professional experiences really helped me during summer and articling recruits. I also loved being a law student and can't wait to start working as a lawyer. But I think you should mentally be prepared for the possibility that you won't have the same law school experience as someone who is younger than you.
