I'll read it!

I'm 23, recently graduated from the University of Calgary with two degrees, one in Political Science and the other, in Law and Society. I have not taken the LSAT yet, but will December 2016. I always struggled taking MC tests in school, but worked really hard in my undergrad to improve my testing abilities.

My biggest worry is fear of the "soft requirements", I worked a lot during school, but really did not volunteer as much. Many schools I am applying to are "holistic." I am terrified of writing my personal statement, and am struggling with figuring out how to tell my story. I am scared about LSAT, and underperforming. But, I have a 100 percent faith that with hardwork its achievable. My gpa over the past two years is a 3.4, also concerned about that.

I've started to work on my personal statement, and brainstorm what I will talk about. Throughout my undergrad I experienced a lot of personal issues. It makes my story diverse and interesting. I put a lot of heart and dedication in everything I do and the adversity I faced was a struggle, but I really want qualities of perseverance and my story to come through in my writing.

No this is my first time!

1. I'm Mara, I recently graduated with a double degree in Political Science and Law and Society. I'm interested in Middle Eastern politics, and I love to travel. I'm applying to Canadian law schools.

2. At this point, my biggest worry is the LSAT and perfecting my personal statement.

3. I've written my personal statement. I tied in my various endeavours, my education, work experience, and volunteer experience. I am curious about what kind of life experience is appropriate.

4. No, and no.

I just withdrew! I registered for the December LSAT, and realized I was not ready. Today, the same. I wanted to write it because I also feel like the girl who cried wolf. But the fact remains I won't be getting into the school I want to get in to with my current PT score. Since you scored in the 160s, I would suggest timing/practicing one or two of your weakest sections. After make your decision. If those sections are similar to your lower PTs, it is probably best to not write. But if they are similar to 160, then its up to you. So funny, I feel pressured from friends and family to write the test tomorrow, so I will also attend school tomorrow and just do some practice tests.. Haha. My ultimate decision was based on knowing there's a possibility I can score my desired mark, but with extreme luck. In my case, I know its better after reading thread after thread to postpone, and study smarter. If you decide to write tomorrow, good luck!
