28/Male, born in Russia, formative years in Montreal, Canada followed by 5 years in a BSc. in Enology in Argentina with 3 more years working in the field before coming back to the wine regions of Canada - currently working in the wine industry in Nova Scotia, Canada. I finished with a 7.62/10 - a grading scale used country-wide - with the conversion to a GPA scale being around 3.65. I am fluent in Russian, French, English and Spanish and I volunteered during 4 years with the Junior Chamber International.
2. Your biggest worry about your application.
Applying in Quebec, Universities do not take the LSAT result into consideration (from what I hear), but as I am coming from an education abroad, I wanted all the possible chances to get in. The worry is primarily being good enough to be admitted, more in detail would be how to best approach the application process, the structure of the Letter of Intent and explaining my foreign studies.
3. Two ideas for your personal statement.
(i) Adaptation to any challenge, from a young age I have moved around and integrated my new place of residence - the language mastery is a clear result - as well as the completion of a university 100% in Spanish, with very little language knowledge at the time of the move to Argentina. Once I set my mind on a goal, I will follow through until the end. (ii) During the 8 years in Argentina, I helped re-launch and run a family business - a winery - which meant that I was to shadow my step-father during all the business interactions, interpreting all of the meetings he had (Spanish-English), dealing with lawyers, notaries, accountants and consultants. From the age of 19 I have been in that boardroom environment, laying a foundation for a return to university in Law, while getting the practical life experience.
4. Did you attend last time? Did I get to you?
No, I did not attend last time.
Thank you.
