lsat and gpa are much bigger factors than whether your d spends 3 or 4 years in college. if you have the money to spend and the extra year might raise her gpa and she wants to stay a 4th year, then go for it. but law schools will understand the desire to save money. if she has a good gpa and lsat score, she should be fine. some law schools (and future employers) might be worried about the maturity level of a 21-year-old 1L, but that doesn’t mean she has to stay in school a 4th year–working, traveling, etc (Americorps? WorldTeach?) can also be great ways to spend a year.
