Hey everyone! I was just admitted to McGill law a few days ago. Could someone let me know where the groupchat is? Thank you!!

It says on website that LSAT score should be submitted no later than November 8th, does this mean that, if I want to apply for fall 2027, the latest exam I can take would be the October one, Or could I take the November LSAT and have the score submitted once it becomes available? I’ve never taken the LSAT before and thanks for the clarification!

Should I take another lsat?

McGill WL notified May 13; Rejected Aug 13

Devastated. This is my 2nd cycle but first time applying to McGill. Will be starting my 3rd cycle.

LSAT: 150, 149, 162; 166

Extenuating circumstances letter followed (medical) for my first two LSATs

GPA: 3.80/4.0 (McGill scale) 3.78 OLSAS

QC, University applicant

Should I take one more LSAT? That would be my 5th and last LSAT that I'm eligible to take. Called to confirm with McGill that they don't mind canceled scores at all. Not sure if I'll have enough time to study, however; or if i can get my score up again cuz I haven't been touching that stuff for a while now.

Don't have anything to add for my CV because I literally could not get a job in the past year. I've been applying but just couldn't get any. Due to this, I also don't have anything AT ALL to add for my personal statement either when I re-apply. Would it look bad on my personal statement and CV?

Devastated devastated devastated crashing out.

Can someone look over my ps?

Reapplying to McGill Law (BCL/JD) after being waitlisted — what genuinely strengthens a file the second time?

Hey everyone. Last cycle I made it to the waitlist for the BCL/JD but didn't get an offer. I'm planning to reapply and I want to be strategic rather than just resubmit the same file.

Did a new personal statement / different framing help, or is it mostly about hard stats?

For those who came off the waitlist — did a Letter of Continued Interest actually matter?

Does an extra year of relevant experience (grad studies, work) noticeably strengthen a holistic file here?

Anything about the Montréal/transsystemic angle they seem to value that I might be underplaying?

I've seen a post on this forum before about someone who was on the WL for Western. They had some competing offers and just politely emailed the admissions about WL and a week later they got A off WL.

I don't have other competing offers at the moment, but I'm just wondering if it's ok to contact admissions to ask about WL? Already submitted a LOCI, (the portal only allows one LOCI submission) and that school doesn't rank WL candidates. Calling or Emailing? Just to express interest? And if I were to ask about WL, how should I phrase my questions or inquiry (and not sound like I'm demanding an A?) Is it ok to send in another LOCI? (McGill btw)

Please help! 🥹 Thanks in advance.

Long story short, I kind of struggled a lot in my first year and ended up starting off my university grades with a really low GPA, and (according to Claude at least), the max GPA I can reach before I graduate is a 3.4. I really want to go to law school at McGill, but now I'm not too sure if it's even possible. I might do the LSAT, but I'm not too sure if that will even help me out too much. Does anyone know if its even worth trying at this point?
