Do you think working full time in professional positions during undergraduate can push top tier schools to look past an lsat score below the 25%?

Hi, I’m currently pursuing my bachelors in computer science and i want to pursue JD from US so if i get my work experience in my field will it still help me in admission or do i need to have work experience in legal field? Please help me out.
Thank you.

Work experience in computer science can absolutely be valuable for admissions! Working in the legal field has plenty of benefits (making connections with lawyers, getting a better perspective on whether this is something you really want as a career, etc.), but non-legal work experience can often be more differentiating in admissions and can bring valuable and diverse perspectives to the classroom.

How would it be seen if after graduating from my undergrad, i go into the military for a 3 year contract and then apply to law school? Will it look favorably and possibly give me a boost? Or would it be much simpler and the same as just applying right after graduating
