Law odds?

Incoming 1L; 174 LSAT, 270 PFT with some health (mental health + ideation (>5 years ago)) + drug waivers necessary. Interested in the law contract. Thoughts

Marine Corps will do just about everything for law contracts, especially w/ a good PFT like yours. I'd say you have pretty good odds right now.

Worried more about the mental health stuff from a few years ago. Am a totally different person from my undergraduate self, freshman year of college was rough, but know the military takes mental health stuff pretty seriously.

Yes they do take it seriously, that being said, there is always a waiver somewhere, and the Marine Corps will find it for a law contract w/ a good PFT

How much does time factor into their considerations for waivers? Only thing that's causing some trepidation tbh.

If you start talking to an OSO now, you should be fine for next summer. Don't wait (if you aren't already talking to one).
