i just wanted to know what law school was actually like when it came to grades? is it insanely difficult to get even decent grades? do they try to weed you out? alot of this curve and the possibility of getting low grades and not being able to find a job after is stressing me out considering the debt id be getting into as a prospective applicant

i just wanted to know what it was actually like. I heard its very difficult to fail but if you put in a good amount of effort can you achieve at least decent or avg grades?

especially as a first gen student who has no connections in law

For Law students thar are in their late 20s (27+) or early thirties, did u face any barriers in getting ocis or articling or even ur first position especially in places like big law and mag

Got told the age discrimination is a little rough bc they want younger lawyers who can keep up with the hours

For ppl that gace written the lsat how big was the fluctuation from ur pt to the actual test?

Like 2-3 points or like 10 points lower on the actual test compared to ur pt score

I saw that most ppl seem to be writing in August but has anyobe written in September, October for their first time and been successful?

Is it okay if you write the fall lsats instead of the summer ones? would u reccomend one way or another? Any advice is helpful!

my goal is for admission into ontario schools primarily

Has everyone already registered for october lsat

Hi im planning to take my lsat soon and im really hoping it goes well, but i was wondering if it doesnt go well bc of nerves or something does a score cancellation look bad, this would be my first lsat so i dont know what to expect

but with schools like uofa averaging and western weighing the first score more heavily im a bit scared about the score i get.

So i was wondering if anyoen has any insight as to whether using the score cancellation looks bad or if schools in canada prefer you dont do that?

Im working on my lsat rn and I also realize I have to do my personal statement, this is my first cycle and I was wondering around when would be a good spot before the deadline to have your personal staments done?

Also for people who have taken the lsat september or october or later, how do u manage time between the lsat and the personal statement?

The police came to my house bc my neighbour had me have a difficult break down and so the police came did a Wellbeing check. Would this go on my record? Or would this go on a background check for work? They took my name down and everything

Im so scared, ive been an honour roll student all my life and this was a completely freak accident for me I have anxiety but usually its controllable and then today I had 2 deaths of 2 people I really care about

Im so scared, i also wanted to law school and was planning on applying next cycle i feel like they'll reject me

this might be a really weird question but can u bring 2 bottles of water into the test? i usually get really bad nerves and i have one with ice bc something cold against my arm helps me ground those those anxieties

So im in a bit of a query which is giving me alot of anxiety, basically i have an undergrad in science and I was going through some bad health conditions on top of working and taking a full course load. Because of this i didn't get a chance to work or do research with professors who taught me. Now im applying to law schools and almost none of my professors are willing to give me a reference for professjonal schools because I didnt do research with them

Luckily I found one really kind prof who was willing to give me the reference. They acted as my reference for medical school application cycle but i didnt get in. Howvever, I told them I was taking this year to study for my lsat and I did, but my score is not enough based on my GPA and so im wondering if I should tell them I need another year or if I should apply to a couple schools and after my applications work on improving my score and ask them for a reference again for a second cycle because I really don't want to loose the only reference I have and most schools require a reference from a prof who taught me (canadian applicant)

If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!

Im not trying to break rules and look for personal advice but even just what u would do in my shoes or anything helps

For anyone wondering i was interested in med but in Canada its extremely difficult and although im still applying its financially straining and I worked with a couple lawyers, shadowed them and ended up really liking health law

Thank you!

I dont have too many softs on my application and a lot of them have been year long positions (either work contracts that lasted a year) or volunteer positions I held for a year, I was wondering if this would look bad on a law school application and how much this would negatively affect the applications (im 3 years out of undergrad, working part time in a field unrelated to my degree)

any advice helps

Im still working on my lsat and hoping to bump my score for August ot September lsat but I was wondering for those who have applied when should you start working on the applications? Should I focus on the lsat first?

why put out TA applications if your only going to interview and hire students that ur close to anyways? why can u not just be a little professional to give the rest of us a chance or at least to give those of us who are qualified a chance, just a chance, thats all im asking for

Im constantly facing this problem of reading RC and then forgetting what i read jus above, which I don't understand why its such a problem but here we are - if anyone has any tips or advice that would be much appreciated

hey im studying for august lsat and if anyone i studying for august or later and wants to study together either in silence to keep one another on task or help each other with questions through zoom pls let me know, would love to have a study buddy

I had a quick question so ik during undergrad u have to do softs and get references from profs to apply to law school, but when ur in law school is it more of the same thing? Is at as stressful or worse?
