I'm planning on taking the November LSAT and would love to join!

I've heard that taking the LSAT in January (for Canadian law schools) isn't late and shouldn't hurt your chances of getting accepted. I know in some cases certain schools will explicitly state what LSAT to take at the latest (in those cases they might say they prefer you take the November LSAT at the latest or they'll out right say they won't consider any January scores). I've also heard that for the schools that don't say whether the January LSAT is to late for the cycle you intend on applying in, you should submit your application by the November 1st deadline and then reach out to the schools and tell them that you're planning on taking the January LSAT and to keep your application on hold until the Jan score release. I think in that case, people usually do that if the score they have on their file isn't the highest and don't want admissions to make decisions based on that score. Your OLSAS application should show that you're registered for the Jan LSAT as well so the Ontario law schools you apply to through there will know and usually just keep your application on hold if they see that.

I hope that's somewhat helpful. I'm also applying this cycle in Ontario and took the September LSAT but im planning on retaking in November and worst case January. Good luck!
