Self-study
I went to the University of Toronto with a Bachelors of Computer Science. My GPA is around 2.9. I want to apply for Canadian law schools near Toronto/anywhere in the GTA.
I went through some financial instability and traumatic experiences which significantly made it harder for me to live, let alone perform well in school despite endlessly studying. I also pursued a Specialist degree which means I rarely had electives, most of my required credits were for technical courses (programming, theory, calculus, statistics, etc.) so my GPA reflects that. I did do better in my fourth/fifth year where I had more humanities electives (I perform much better in writing courses) and wasn't overloaded with credits.
Can anyone give me some insight on what my LSAT score should aim to be, and how realistic it really is for me to apply? I'm having some serious doubts in myself because of my GPA.

Hi!! I got into a Canadian law school this year although some may say I'm a reverse splitter high CGPA lower LSAT. I do know of ppl who have gotten in with a lower CGPA and a high LSAT. It’s a given that your LSAT in this case would have to compensate for your CGPA but it can be done! When I was attending some open houses for Toronto law schools some mentioned although CGPA is important they also look for an upwards trajectory! Hope this was helpful! :)
