I have been a full time university student and worked full time as an office admin and sales rep so I have never had the time to participate in other EC's such as clubs or student councils. I have had extenuating family circumstances because i have an autistic brother whom I have had to dedicate a lot of time to and so that was another reason why i found little time to get involved in school with any other ec's. I am wondering will the lack of EC's have a negative effect on my applications (specifically Canadian law schools) or if working full time and having this family circumstance will make up for it? The reason I ask is if it is going to really have a bad look then I could possibly squeeze in some volunteering or join some clubs in the next month even though I really don't have much time left. If it is not going to be that big of a deal then I will just leave it. Thanks for the advice in advance guys!!!

So i have one solid LOR down from a professor but for my second one I am conflicted on who to ask. I had one TA for two courses (first class they were a TA but second class they were independently teaching it as a seminar course.) I am on very good terms with them and know that i could get a VERY strong LOR from him, however he is not a professor. I also have a prof who i know would give me a LOR but it would not be as strong, most likely a standard one. Which one should I go for?
So I only have 7Sage premium and therefore have PT's up to 58. However I have printed copies of PT's 62-71 (obviously without 7Sage explanations though) and considering I only have 6/7 weeks until test day and only able to do 2 PT's a week without burning out, what would you guys recommend? Should I just take the older LSAT's that I have available on 7Sage with the explanations or do the newer ones and try to make do... Thanks for any advice!
thanks so much for the advice everyone! I really appreciate it and will be going back to CC for specific areas I find I am slowest in. Also I do I think I might unfortunately have to bring my goal score down to a 160 to be realistic considering we're only less than 2 months away from test day! Good luck everyone with their studies :)
So I feel like I have a pretty solid understanding of the overall concepts from CC, but I've done 2 PT's post CC and received scores I'm terribly unhappy with (153 and 156) I am aiming for 165+ on the September LSAT and so I am asking for advice on whether i should go back to the CC or just continue PTing until the LSAT and hopefully my score will improve as I practice? I think my main issue is time atm because I am rushing to complete all the questions and thus compromising on accuracy. Once I BR my score improves by 5-6 points. RC is my weakest point but again it's mostly because of time, because i am averaging -1/-2 on RC when untimed... thanks for any advice!!
When you finally get why C is correct and you have an "ohhhhhhhhhhhh" aloud moment lol
You know the question was hard when you get 2 wrong answer choices in both timed AND BR review ...
thank you guys, this is all great advice! I am sticking with my September LSAT date so I will instead spread out my PT's, I agree that BR on the same day has been tiresome... and I will definitely keep reviewing my problem areas on the days off! Thank you all for the advice! :)
I'm doing the September LSAT which leaves only 10 weeks until test day, and I've heard that only 10 PT's isn't a good amount and I've been told 20-30 is the minimum... but i know people are different so i'm not sure
So I'm doing 3 PT's a week, and I do the whole process in a single day (test, BR, and review) which means I'm dedicated 3 whole days a week to the PT'S... But then that leaves by 4 days of nothing. What should I be doing in these days in between? I don't want to waste PT's by making them practice drills instead, but I also don't want to use the fake questions as drills. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions and what you guys do once you're done CC? thanks guys!!

It's annoying because it's a random question my brain makes up so I can't solve it. Like, let me solve this logic game or figure out this inference?? But my brain hasn't fully formed the question so when I try to solve the question I realize it's a dream and wake up.
same exact thing is happening with me lol, and within my dream i'm so frustrated as to why I'm not getting it right and even when I wake up I have a little bit of stress left in me
I thought we aren't allowed to change the premises. Doesn't C change the premise of "some lawyers are cattle ranchers" to "ALL lawyers are cattle ranchers"?
