9 Failed courses throughout undergrad, all of which I've retaken and gotten a B or better grade. Would it be realistic for me to apply to law schools?

Hi.

To put it simply I was a wreck during 3rd and 4th year and I was unable to focus on school at all. There are no real excuses for this, my mental health was just in the gutter for 3 semesters, going past the point of no return after it was too late to withdraw from school. I ended up having to escape back home during exam season each of those times, with my parents support. I should have taken some time off at the beginning of my third year, but I didn't foresee myself getting that bad...

Now thankfully I am on track to finish my undergrad after 5.5 years in December, and I've pulled my GPA up significantly after retaking all of those failed course.

Would it be wise for me to even consider trying for law school? I understand OLSAS GPA's weigh repeated courses the same. Even if I study my ass off for a high LSAT, is it even worth applying?

Thanks in advance

Year standing question: Can I take additional first-year 1000-level courses to advance my year standing?

I amd 0.5 credits away from 4th-year standing. If I take an extra 1000 level course, which would put me at 7.5 first-year credits, would that still mean I achieve 4th year standing for the next term?
