<p>IMO-
all you need to do your "gap year is to spend it wisely-- show you are maturing into adulthood- have some real life experiences and that you are a bit older and wiser because you have gained some real life experience. No one is expecting you to write a book or cure cancer.
Study for your LSAT and get a job too-- even a part-time sales associate at the GAP (no pun intended) and preparing for the test is sufficient . Just studying for the LSAT and doing nothing else seems to be a bit self indulgent and immature.<br>
There is no reason why you can’t join the real world, study for the LSAT and gain life experience in your “gap” year by working too.
High gpa- and LSAT in 170’s will get you into a great school.
Don’t waste your time speculating where you will be admitted into law school until you get your actual LSAT score.</p>
