Facing a senior year dilemma. I am applying to T10 schools (174/4.0) and also interviewing for jobs. Hard to say how the sequence of events will turn out. But say...
1) I get an admission offer that I accept
2) later get my dream job
3) request law school for a 2-3 yr deferral which they will most likely deny (1yr deferrals are normal for them)
4) decide not to go to law school now and work 3 years
5) Apply to law schools 3 years later
What would be my standing with the T10 law school that I did not attend? will they reconsider my application (which likely would be stronger with 3 yr work experience) or am I outcast at that school? Anyone actually gone through this? TIA

Re: Law School vs Job Dilemma
They would offer a 1 year deferral. They don't care if you reject them and then apply 2-3 years later.
I'd consider applying to the T13 law schools, not just the T10, unless you just really hate NW, Cornell and whoever else gets set at 11th that year. Send apps to Y, H, S, Chi, C, NYU, Penn, Duke, UVA, Mich, Cal, NW, and Cornell.

Re: Law School vs Job Dilemma
Yeah, they’ll definitely reconsider your application without any issues.
And T10 isn’t really a thing.
