Life advice

Well I just received my LSAT score after hibernating and studying for a few months. It was a paltry 161, my lowest score ever. The very first LSAT I took for practice, I got a 163! I usually score in the mid to high seventies, so needless to say, I am feeling pretty awful.

Anyway, I've been giving this a lot of thought. I currently work at an accounting firm doing pretty well; nobody knows I even took a shot at the LSAT. I'm not sure if I want to stay at the accounting firm I work at now or keep pursuing this law school pipe dream. Is it even worth retaking the LSAT? Or should I just say *** it and concentrate on a career?

Hi!  Sounds gd to hv the mind set to keep upgrading urself and u hv the means to do so.

 ;)Keep trying and never give up.  If you want to hv a better, good and stable career with big figures ahead of u, go for it.  Find a tutor or someone whom you can trust to teach u n lead u or help u to strive for ur goal to pass the LSAT.

I always envy those ppl who can keep on studying even age hv catch up with them.  Try to find some gd phrase, print it n paste it on ur wall or anywhere u can always see to motivate urself.

May u succeed, n live a gd life in future to come.

GOOD LUCK TO U!!!

So you got a 161;  just lower your expectations on the law school, e.g., from Harvard to a state school. 

In addition, in the application, talk about your work experience and how it has given you perspective that would enhance your ability to study and practice law.

Try to pick a law school that is in the same or nearby phyical location as where you want to practise because there will be a better network of alumni attorneys in hiring positions there (this matters).

I guess I'm assuming you aren't planning on law school in SG as they're all in the same general location
