I am interested. I am on a similar boat, scored 140 in the timed diagnostics, now after a very light study for 2 months or so I am at 158. Target is 170.

Interested... please add me...

I think these transcripts would be useful for admissions officers. On the LSAC website, it states that Law schools require transcripts from undergraduate and graduate institutions that you have attended. If you are unsure, I would recommend reaching out to the admissions officers for the schools that you are interested in to confirm. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I was just making sure if I understood correctly. As rules are little bit different for international students.

I will surely take your advice and will get in contact with the schools as well.

Thanks ... actually as I am an international student, WES or CAS asks to send my transcripts directly from my university. Now my university charges 50$/transcripts so that means undergrad 3 transcripts, masters 4 transcripts and PhD 1 transcript... that makes a total of 400 for WES (OLSAS) and another 400 for CAS. So just wanted to be sure that these will actually help in application or not.

I will never understand why schools think it's reasonable to charge by transcript and not by request. I have two master's from the same university and the university charged me about similar for each of my degree. Not quite as much as you paid in total but I feel your pain.

Yes that's the issue, I dont understand why they need to charge each transcripts. I would be okay somewhat it they would charge at least course by course

I don't know if it will help your application. But (and this is a strictly personal opinion) I think that it could hurt not to send it. Maybe your situation is different since you're in a Ph.D. program and probably have research products/papers on your resume, but when I was thinking about the same thing in my situation, I tried to imagine how an admissions officer can react. And I think my reaction upon seeing a grad school transcript (or five) would be, 'Oh look, they're here.' But when I don't see a transcript, my response would be 'What are they trying to hide?'

That's the point why I have doubt about whether to send my other degrees. I mean they can just think those degrees are not true or not from legitimate universities ( just speculation) if I dont send all of them. But if sent they might not even look at it with such importance.

I don't know. Maybe I just have a terrible impression of law school admissions

Oh no even I have the same impression. I hope they pay a little attention to those transcripts cause it is going to cost me a fortune.

Hi @,

Thank you very much for your reply. Sorry I was using wrong terminology. By 'fellowship' I meant a fully sponsored course (scholarship???). So if there is a chance to get something like that being an international student.

The GPA conversion was not from a legitimate source, it was just some goa calculator I found online. Are there any legitimate conversion system available fir international students specifically which will be accepted by canada law schools ?

Also if I want to to get admission in 2021 when is the best time to take the test ? (Given that I may have to try twice probably)

I am sorry if my questions are sounding stupid, I really have no idea on this field.
