Hello everyone! I’ve been studying for about 9 months and just did my first full prep test today and scored 169. However, I let myself have a little extra time due to the fact that my ENTIRE family were in the same room as me, talking, cooking, watching stuff etc.
So my question is, other than studying in my own area which I will do starting Monday, how can I ensure to get my time down and still expect a 169?
@mwatso89258 Thank you so much for your comment. I put the beginning of the paragraph in this comment so you can see what I am trying to get at.
"I remember my first real family emergency. It occurred in October of my second year of university. My fourteen-year-old brother received a letter at the door which stated our home was going into foreclosure, unless we paid in full the amount that was past due. My mother was always in charge of paying the bills and as the child, I felt secure with this arrangement. However, what began as a slow entrance into addiction had now become full-fledged. My mother was too deep in her addiction to pay the bills "
Please note this is very rough and not fully edited yet. Just the gist.
Hey everyone,
For some reason I am extremely struggling with this one sentence in my personal statement
"However, what began as a slow entrance into addiction had now become full-fledged."
I absolutely HATE this sentence and was wondering if anyone had any advice?
Thank you so much
@kristensu68 I am not applying to McGill! I am applying to Western, Windsor, Ryerson, Lakehead, Ottawa and Queens. I just received a lovely email back from the law admissions committee from Western saying that it is more than alright and that many students do it, as the vast majority of their acceptances go out in march-April.
Hope this helps and good luck!!! We are all in this together
I am in this exact same spot except that I am applying this round (in Canada). I made the decision to push it back because COVID screwed up my strict studying schedule and November came way faster than I could have imagined. I emailed all schools and was assured that the only impact it has is I will not be considered for early admittance, which I doubted I would get anyways. I am also applying access so I really need to ensure that my LSAT score shines.
It is not a race! Do what makes you feel comfortable and the most secure.
Amazing!!! Congrats! I bet you feel so amazing, which you should :)
Hello everyone!
I hope prepping for your admission essays are going well. I have come across an essay in which I need to answer a hypothetical scenario regarding plagiarism in a colleague. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to tackle these.
Thank you!

Taking the test today at 12:30. So nervous I don’t know what to do with myself. Hopefully I calm myself down soon. Wish me luck everyone
GOOD LUCK!!! I am writing in 45 mins ahh. I recommend going on a walk if you can (listen to music or a podcast etc.) I find it shocks my brain and really really REALLY helps me focus
