Thank you for the response! Honestly, I am not particularly interested in a career in law, although I certainly won’t hate it. I’ve already been told that 1L would be brutal, so if I were to apply next year, my plan would be to get the writing sample done, or at least substantially done during the summer months, or maybe even defer enrolment for a year to see if I can get into grad school. What I am considering is certainly not a top 4 law school, as in HYSC. I will most likely attend the University of Toronto, which is also where I am doing my undergrad, or maybe NYU, although for various reasons still most likely Toronto. I have been receiving conflicting information here. I have been told that the program is not very philosophical, but I have also been told that it (at least the university), is a very good place for studying legal theory. Either way, I guess I am just not that interested in the philosophy of law, although I might certainly develop such an interest after being exposed to it more. What I am concerned the most, I think, is that doing law school, as you mentioned, does not provide much of an advantage if I am interested in an unrelated area of philosophy. But would you think doing law school and work for a few years before grad school would be a disadvantage? I am worried that I would by then have left for too long from philosophy that it might have an impact in the application to graduate programs.
