i’m just gonna address a few of these items. I’m a parent so keep that in mind.
but DEFINITELY get the letters of recommendation from your professors while you are at college. The professors might not be available or may not remember you a few years later- so get them while your profs remember you. Also get 2 letters from professors. Some law schools require 2 academic LOR. I believe LSAC/LSDAS will hold onto the recommendations- so you may need to open up an LSAC account once you feel it is time to obtain the letter.

i’m a firm believer in- you got one life. You should do want you want (with certain limits) and have no regrets. A summer as a camp counselor or mentor program-- A terrific idea. It also shows you have other interests than getting into law school.

as far as taking the LSAT- you know yourself best. But once you get out of the 4 year grind at college, it may be more difficult to discipline yourself to study for the LSAT. I think the LSAT grade is good for 5 years- so even if you took it your junior year and worked 2 years after college, the LSAT grade will still be accepted.

The best time to take the LSAT is when you have a solid 2 to 3 months (some may need more time) to devote to studying for this exam.
Hope I helped you a bit.
