<p>Thanks for your advice jonri, however, with all due respect I’m not really concerned with your opinion on whether I SHOULD or should NOT go to law school. That is not the question at hand, so there’s no “getting through” that needs to be done at all here. As stated in my previous post, I don’t think it could hurt to keep law school as an “option” for the 2012-2013 academic year. Even though I intend to pursue legal studies later on in life rather than immediately starting next year, keeping doors open is what applying for next year would be all about. </p>

<li><p>There are a myriad of perfectly reasonable motives that would inspire one to go to law school. Just because I’m not hashing mine out explicitly here doesn’t mean I don’t have any.</p></li>
<li><p>Indeed, I AM applying for admissions in Fall 2012, as originally stated in my first post and reaffirmed in my second post. As I also stated in my second post, if I don’t get in, I don’t get in! No harm done because I have lots of other options for what to do after my undergrad, some of which even come above immediately enrolling in law school.</p></li>
<li><p>I am well aware of the necessary steps I need to take for law school admissions, thank you very much. Some are already taken care of, some are in progress.</p></li>
<li><p>I haven’t yet taken the LSAT, so while the 168 I gave was an approximated score based on my SAT results, it can’t be concretely used to make any sort of deduction whatsoever. My actual LSAT score may be significantly lower or higher than that figure.</p></li>
<li><p>Again, my personal aspirations are not really of your concern. Although I can say this: If you think that someone who has studied and lived in both France and the United States is unaware of the differences in both legal systems and educational policies between these two nations, than you are sorely mistaken.</p></li>

<p>Thank you for taking the time to participate in this thread, however, I would appreciate it if you didn’t contribute any more off-topic remarks in the future, especially condescending ones like “Your plan is a bad one.” and “Sigh.” Answering someone’s questions with concrete data or personal experience (your story about the UW-Whitewater student was a bit iffy; the only pretext you gave was “there was a student…”, without stating your personal connection to said student to validate the experience you told about) is helpful. Making opinionated statements is not.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
