they very well may relate to you differently, which can be hard to deal with (emotionally) sometimes

Haha. You kids and your emotions.

My take as someone in their "gasp" 30's... if you graduate law school at 21 because you wanted to be an f-in' all-star attorney and you put your money where your mouth is, then I'll be happy to grab drinks with you after any one of our 16-hour days in the office. But if all you talk about at the bar is studying for the LSAT, your time at (Insert T14/TTT/ITT Tech) Law, and your casework, well...

Yerp. It's not a function of age, necessarily, but life experience. I'll be 30 when I start, and I don't know how well I could relate to someone still in the undergrad mindset. I'm not saying that they're bad people; it's a stage of life and all, and I was certainly there once too. If all you have to talk about, though, is crushing beers at Big State U and studying for the LSAT....eh.- Go build a resume and see the world, and then revisit the idea of law school as a well rounded person with some perspective.

That said, plenty of people do the K-JD thing successfully, so to each their own.

100 people would have been in the 21-25 category (if it wasn't split up)

New slogan for the Under-30 crowd: "We are the 99%."

I feel like I've heard that somewhere before...

His position is that it doesn't matter at all. My position is that it matters a little bit, especially in ways that are difficult to quantify, and will vary from person to person. No one is saying that since he's on the young end he's doomed to the kiddie pool for life. I just think it's a little bit ostrichy to think that people don't have preconceived notions about what 22 year olds are like.

[TheSpanishMain]

preconceived notions about what 22 year olds are like.

Right. Namely, that they're immature and still in the undergrad frame of mind. Of course that's not true for plenty of people, but it may work against you regardless.

I had no idea I was so median age wise on TLS. I assumed everyone is K-JD just because all my friends who went to law school were K-JD. Of course, they almost all went to TTTs and one graduated at USC at sticker and is still unemployed. She did pass the bar though.

Definitely lookin' forward to "Bar Review" on Thursday nights. Also, was that a TSwift reference? Really? LOL.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22....
FWIW I despise taylor swift. If you'd prefer, I will only reference 2chainz for the remainder of my TLS tenure.
Every picwhore I post, I pose a threat; photogenic, what you expect (Talk Dirty, Jason Derulo ft. 2Chainz; Verse 3, Lines 6-7)?

As a 20 yr old who will be turning 21 only 2 months before starting law school, I'd like to think that my future classmates will create their opinions of me based on my actions/words and not the date of my birth.

[sl5uw13]

I'm 23 but I consistently get that I look like I'm 16-17. so there's that

you will probably be thankful for this later in life, esp. if you are a biddy

Their opinion will be that you've done nothing in life so far but attend school.

Come on out all you K-JDs, I need someone to sing TayTay's 22 with...

I chose 22, but I'm 21 atm. 22 on Friday though, which is ASW, so that should be fun!

[Captain Rodeo]

The fact that being 25 made me part of a range of ages to 30 freaked me out just now.

This. I turned 25 this month.

[FairchildFLT]

I'll be 21 this November so I voted 21. I guess it really depends on when I submit my applications. I will have just finished my 4th year in the U.S. Air Force right before class starts

[ConLawNerd91]

KJD here, with an 8 month break b/c I finished undergrad a semester early. I'm 22 but people always say I look younger so I'm waiting for at least one person at law school to ask if I'm a lost undergrad.

How does this even happen? Guessing you did active duty and an online program at the same time?

Yeahp. Started college classes when I was 16 at a CC. Enlisted when I was 17 with 22 credits. Basic training and two tech schools filled up all my electives. CLEPed english two and literature. After the military law school seems like the easy route.

[amw5471]

I'm 23 and will still be 23 when I start in the fall. And this thread just made me feel old. I took/am taking a year off between undergrad and law school.
