Yes, concur with above. We would need to know more information to help with crafting the right formulation (feel free to PM me if you want my input) but the presentation of work in resumes is all along the same lines.

Hi @VDH_dee5 I would assume it's due to rolling admissions, and the consequent advantage would likely depend on scores. Personally, I applied to Ontario law schools very late (mistakenly thinking deadlines were the same as U.S. law schools) but than…

Hi @ajstephens93 I think I would apply with re-take as a score increase would likely improve application. I applied late to Canadian law schools (under the mistaken thought that the deadlines were the same as U.S.). Feel free to PM me if you would…

My experience was that I hardly ever heard it discussed. Usually, people in the same school will be in the same range anyhow and besides there are more important things on which to focus.

Are you looking for help with US law or another country? I went to law school in Toronto.

I graduated from law school at U of T. Feel free to PM me if I can help with anything.

OLSAS - I'm finished law school but feel free to PM me if need help with anything.

Hmm, try this maybe? https://poseidon01.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=682025021087126107028010079120073121029022041052070026086029025005003004120001082121054013022125049112043065118020114076101027007071082078061113014120117071067121035077003106103000115…

Hi @ajstephens93 I am sorry to hear that you are currently having difficulties studying. I hope that your Friday meeting helps bring relief and that you find yourself back on track with everything soon. Getting stuck at stages of your LSAT progre…

Haha @Bamboosprout! Well you gotta start somewhere. Crito is great and if you start with it, you might want to take a look at a great law professor's analysis of the Crito, law and friendship: https://bit.ly/2MGfZEA

Oh, great suggestion! Let me search up his dialogues... Do you have a specific translation that you would recommend? All are ok but I like Plato, Complete Works edited by John Cooper. You may find a pdf version through google.

You've rightly identified that there are at least two elements at play in the socratic method: public speaking and engaging dialogue. If the former makes you apprehensive, then joining a debating society or just practicing giving speeches is likely…

I would go for the first option.

Hi @"Sue Doe Nimb" Are there particular passages that you find more troubling? Or specific question types? Perhaps try switching up your approach a bit. If you notate a lot, try relying more on memory; or the reverse. I found myself notating a …

I don't recall the specific point increase @ebalde1234, and anyway I was likely employing other strategies concurrently so the correlation is unclear. But, as I mentioned and as @Ohnoeshalpme stressed, I found them helpful within the category of no…

Are these professors? If so, did you write any papers or other work for them? If so, resend those and they can refresh their memories and possibly reference your work in their recommendation letters. Also, in terms of personal information, if you…

Congrats! It must be incredibly rewarding to see the results of your hard work. "The fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows."

I found reading external material helpful. I sensed weaker scores on passages relating to science and such, so I took up reading The Economist and Scientific American on my spare time. In general when I was studying for the LSAT, I tried maintaini…

Yes, that's a good forum. For what it's worth, I went to law school in Toronto and would be happy to help anyone who has any questions whether re: LSAT or law school. Feel free to PM me directly.
-
It would certainly be a plus, to what degree is hard to say. I can only speak for my law school: 20 percent of my entering class at U of T had a graduate degree and that was fairly typical. The law school takes a holistic approach, so they might v…

Congrats @"Paul Caint"! I interviewed with them but not off the waitlist, so I can't speak to that specific context, but I'd be happy to answer any questions re: the interview and other stuff. This was 4 years ago, though, so my experience may not…

Yes, I'm planning on staying in Canada. I applied both to U.S. and Canadian law schools, but ultimately chose Canada because of that reason. Wow, you're fortunate to have the advantage of local rates with either option.

@PearsonSpecterLittUp said: Sure, I know some that transferred mid-school and others that transferred following graduation. For the latter, there is a process called NCA which requires the transferee to take a few exams (they assess yo…

Yeah, those are all great, accurate points @ashleighkong22. I've worked with the admissions office as well, volunteering to assist them with their programs and tours. I've also found the admissions officers really helpful, transparent and informat…

The Economist is a good idea. It might also depend on which passages trouble you the most. I had issues with science passages, so I read Scientific American and another similar magazine (in addition to The Economist). I also remember taking out s…
