How much does age factor play a role in law school? I scored a 157 in dec and know I need to re-take but I am already 25 and this would be my second attempt already for law school. I'm also emigrating to US so don't have a job in US but am a lawyer in India currently with a full-time legal job. I'm concerned about being 26 and entering school and then post-law school its likely people I work with will be younger than me, at the same position.

Also anyone know what kind of jobs I could do in law related fields in the US if i do decide to wait another year to apply to law school?

PS: correction I will be 27 as admission would be in 2014.

The average age is around 24-25 at most law schools so its not a big deal. I'll be 26 when I matriculate.

Don't worry about it. 26 isn't at all too old to enter law school.

Focus on increasing your LSAT instead of worrying about your age.

Not a concern at all.
