I was trippin out about the same thing, but i'm in a similar situation to you. I am writing September (not feeling 100%), seeing where i'm at, and if need be, I will write again in December. Schools in Canada generally take the highest LSAT score over a combined average, so there is really no loss when it comes to writing it more than once.
I found it was hard to be comfortable with this decision since a lot of people in this forum are trying to get into the top law schools in the states (which is incredibly admirable), but seeing that people are feeling the same way has been encouraging.
I have friends who go to Dalhousie who have gotten in with pretty reasonable marks/ GPA. Dalhousie also ranks lower among the Canadian law schools, so I think it is a littleeasier to get in. I am also applying to UVic and Dal.
why do they call it grey day
1. I Graduated from St.FX with first class honours in anthropology and a subsidiary in sociology while captaining (2014 and 2015) the two time national championship winning women's rugby team. My honours thesis was on the Crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and that is a theme of research and a passion of mine that I hope to continue to pursue through law at University of Victoria or UBC. Combined, these experiences allowed me to refine my leadership skills at many different letters, which is something I hope will pull me through on my application.
2. That my LSAT score is going to be average, along with my GPA, so I need to really work on my personal statement. However, my interests do align with the university's mission, I am just worried about articulating that correctly. Often my writing can fall into a trap of emotion instead of academic writing.
3. (1) Focusing on my leadership positions in athletics as well as within academia, more specifically my interests in Aboriginal rights and empowerment, grassroots initiatives and community-based programs. (2) Crafting a not-boring personal statement about a challenge I have overcome but all the while strongly articulating my skills and ambitions.
4. No, no
bless up, needed this encouragement
