Someone with a higher GPA and higher LSAT and less or zero work experience will be admitted before you. Work experience doesn't help an application generally.

Oh, okay. I was just wondering what the basis was for people who say "get work experience and then apply" is.

I know where I stand with regards to my GPA and LSAT. I was just wondering from a strictly "will work experience help and by how much (not quantitative)" perspective.

they are hopeful that it will help their application (this is generally just a dream) or they think you should understand legal work so you know what you are getting yourself into. It really isn't a very helpful thing to have as far as admissions go.

But it is helpful for a job after. Admissions isn't even half of the battle of law school, it seems.

It can be helpful in making a somewhat-of-a-reach school a target one. It can also help strengthen your application if you're a splitter.

I am definitely a splitter. 3.0 lsdas gpa with a 165 LSAT and I'm a URM. Does this change things?
