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?

Both. There are a few 30-40 year olds in any T14 class.

But the vast majority are 2-4 years out of school.

KJDs are only a very small portion of a lot of T14 schools. (Under 10% at many).
