From one Canadian to another, congratulations!! Enjoy Osgoode!

I would personally refrain from bringing anything other than acceptable items. Some testing centers are stricter than others and you don't want the added stress of wondering if something is okay to bring. If you wish to bring gum, perhaps keep it in…

Are you willing to consider Canadian schools? Your stats will guarantee you a spot at a Canadian school that places emphasis on your most recent 2 years (aka recent 60 credits) provided that they transfer properly. You may also be a strong candidat…

I think it’s best to check the stats of other Access applicants from previous cycles and see where you stand. You can probably find this info on lawstudents(dot)ca. Also, I didn’t apply to Ontario schools so I don’t know but do they take the Feb LS…

I’d opt for something that would put me to sleep and watch it right before bed

The median age of a well-respected school here in Canada is 26. You’re not too old

Congratulations!!!!

I would create a Facebook with the barest minimum of personal info possible and join to see if it will be useful. There’s always the option to shut it down if you don’t like it.

@alicia32 I'm a Canadian applicant as well and I'm not sure how schools evaluate your application even if your record shows that you've cancelled. Index schools like UBC or U of A might not even care at all (UBC only looks at your highest and U of A…

Depends on whether you're talking about a Canadian or American school. The Canadian schools I know of will use a "hold" status to indicate that you're borderline on their index and they haven't decided whether you're in or out. That often means your…

Law school wasn't my dream. It wasn't even a passing thought. I had a vision for my career when I was in undergrad that didn't pan out and, in retrospect, I am glad I didn't go that route. I spent a few years after my undergrad working in a position…

I'd love to join in

Psych and Lit major. I had no experience with formal logic until the LSAT. I decided to take a 1st year level course in logic and found myself dividing my time between that and my LSAT studies. There was very minimal crossover and I had to keep 2 di…

Wow, I can't imagine how awful that must have been. I vote for an addendum (if your application allows for it). You can also report the issue to LSAC if you want but that will do nothing for your score nor will you receive a refund. I'm not sure wha…

I broke into a coughing fit, had residual cold symptoms. Luckily it was the writing sample section.

@jerryguitarist I haven't applied to any of the Ontario schools in part due to the OLSAS issue and in part because I'm hoping to stay on the west coast (UBC is an excellent school, btw). Nature of the beast, I guess. Best of luck this Dec!
-
@jerryguitarist This is something that I've agonized over as well. I'm from a west coast school that operates in a percentage system instead of a GPA system (you can probably guess which based on that description alone, haha) and there was no way I …

It's too late to submit a new pic. I vote shave to avoid any potential complications on test day.
-
Many schools do not take the February exam so if you don't get the score you want in December and get what you want in February, it is a good idea to re-apply the next cycle. As far as west coast schools go, only U of A averages your scores. The oth…

@zehrafaryal Are you applying to Canada, U.S. or both? In Canada, many of the schools weigh your LSAT and GPA 50/50 so it would help to check with the schools you're interested in and see what you will need on the LSAT. Here is a super helpful link…
-
It would be a good idea to contact the schools you're interested in and ask admissions. In Canada, you would need to provide a good reason for deferral and they may not even allow it.
-
Congratulations on your score! Will be tuning in this Friday
-
Interested!
-
The holidays is probably an important factor.

Thanks for your responses. I wanted to know if the time and money was going to be worth it. I'd rather devote as much time as I can studying for the LSAT if extraneous prep won't to be as helpful.
