You should not make mention of your age in your PS nor should you acknowledge a perceived weakness. Instead, write about an experience that demonstrates your maturity/commitment/leadership ability. Play offense, not defense.

Act like this is exactly what you've been planning all along. Start researching law firms and get ready for a nice career.

Would it be worth it to retake the LSAT to shoot for a higher score? I am looking to get into Top 7 and other top 14's with money.

I'm the master of the "retake" advice, but seriously, you've done enough. I'd apply everywhere and take the best offer.

subtle B trolling?

[Lonagan]

Your PS should be, roughly, "4.0 / 173".

FTFY

[jbptls]

I don't know what " B Trolling" is. I am just looking for some candid advice. My friends are not applying to law school so I figured it would be a good idea to discuss my options with people going through the same process.

You're solid. Don't even mention the age. Accd. with the above advice just to play up a situation where you acted with maturity in PS. You have a good shot at one of HYS, and CCNP with serious $$$.

You have a good shot at YH with your numbers, and you should be in everywhere else.

that is some hardcore penn trolling

[JG Hall]

oh and pay extra attention to your resume.

[DoubleChecks]

OP, your stats and circumstances are somewhat similar to mine. i refrained from talking about my age -- just like the first responder said, write a PS that demonstrates your maturity. ive talked to adcomms before about graduating a yr early (yours is 1.5 but close enough) and they said they wouldnt hold it against you at all IF you demonstrated a rigorous course load + positive results (4.0 = positive results). dont make it seem as if you're trying to blaze through college, however. and i hope a big chunk of your credits were AP/CLEP stuff...that doesnt look too great on transcripts...if most of your college career has been through pre-college pass level exams haha.

Thoughts on using an addendum to explain why?

I'm in a similar boat. I graduated high school two years early through a proficiency test. Should I too refrain from mentioning this? The first paragraph of my PS notes this fact, and I don't know whether to leave it or take it out.

Ummmm, OP specifically asked about T7 (although he seems to have edited it out), was assuming he was referring to Penn also since he didn't say T6. I don't dispute that the generally accepted tiers on this here chatblog are HYS CCN MVPB (although whether this makes any sense is a whole 'nother argument and one that we need not have here).

[4for44]

Back on topic... What about using an addendum? I'm in a similar boat
