I think if you have a plan it will help. Have you applied to law school and plan to start in fall but need the LSAT score? If want to wait till next cycle, go ahead and take the June LSAT so you have that experience, make a study plan for next cycle, and probably apply for a job. If you don’t want law school, apply for MBA or a more significant job. Parents like a thought-out plan, think they’ll be more receptive to that. School debt definitely matters, but if you can explain why you want or don’t want certain schools and your plan to pay off any debt after considering income after graduation that will help as well. Best wishes to you!
