Thanks, AvonHSDad, and your and bluebayou’s advice is excellent.
@gibbons, Dean Minow of HLS is very clear in her speeches: the school prefers people to take time off between college and law school. If you look at HLS admissions info, more and more students have work experience (or some kind of time) between college and law school. It isn’t at all like when I was coming through–when going straight through was the norm. I’d trust Dean Minow and HLS admissions info if I were you.
