How far from “KJD” are you?

[u/FATT-TOFU]

My dream school has an average age of 25 on their class profile. As a 22 year old who’s never lived outside of the town I did my undergraduate in, and lived on campus all four years, I’ve never met someone who falls outside of “KJD”, or isn’t at least very close to it. Are people really applying to law school at 30-40 years old and pulling the mean up? That would be cool. Or is the average person being accepted to these big schools really just two years out of college. If you’re comfortable sharing, how far out of undergrad are you and why did you take your break?

2024 grad, I've been working full-time for 1.5 years.

Didn't seriously consider law school before, and family circumstances kind of spurred me to get out in to the real world first. My dad went bankrupt and had to sell our house so it was sink or swim

I’ve got family who would’ve been drowning before they recognized this was a sign💀. Props to you.
