Contact schools you are considering for more information. Don't feel compelled to enter law school as a full time student directly out of college. You may want to earn your degree at night and work during the day. Many schools offer excellent evening divisions such as Georgetown, George Washington University, and Fordham University. Consult the AALS Pre-Law Handbook for a complete list.
Most law schools admit students for a particular entry time.
However, some allow you to defer admission for good cause. Contact each school, after admission, to find out about deferral. Not everyone wants to go through seven years of higher education without a break. Don't be afraid to take some time off. It won't hurt, and could help.
