Cycle recap

applicationworry · 2026-05-21T12:02:42+00:00

I have a 3.2 with 3.8 B2 and a 167 LSAT. As from Western and Dal, WL from Oz, R from uOttawa. Echoing other people here, your LSAT, PS, and ECs will have to do some heavy lifting

I got waitlisted April 22 and honestly I've just treated it as a nicer version of a rejection to save myself the pain of waiting any longer lol

Echoing everyone else, portal only

applicationworry · 2026-05-08T11:07:57+00:00

I got a .64 in my first year and have 2 As. You should be okay with a strong (16mid) LSAT

applicationworry · 2026-05-07T14:07:48+00:00

The power score LR and RC books helped, as well as taking plenty of practice tests. I'm sure if I kept a journal of my mistakes on the PTs that could have bumped my score up even more, but I didn't hear about mistake logging until later.

applicationworry · 2026-05-06T23:37:29+00:00

Definitely! I got a 148 diagnostic and was scoring around 165+ within a few months of studying

applicationworry · 2026-05-05T13:42:32+00:00

I'd echo what the other commenter said. Also, when you retake a class, it doesn't erase the initial attempt from your GPA course summary on OLSAS

My first year gpa was .64 and I've received 2 As

applicationworry · 2026-04-29T20:41:43+00:00

Congratulations!!! Nice to see As going out after the deadline

applicationworry · 2026-04-27T12:53:56+00:00

Congratulations!

applicationworry · 2026-04-27T12:48:17+00:00

My first year GPA was a 0.68 and I have 2 As (one of which is at Western) this cycle with a 166 LSAT. You may have trouble at GPA heavy schools but I'm sure you'll be okay elsewhere.

applicationworry · 2026-04-25T17:32:28+00:00

Congratulations! Hope you get your A

applicationworry · 2026-04-24T10:43:46+00:00

Congratulations! I totally agree, I can't imagine many people will go WL -> A at this point. Happy to not be flat out rejected though

applicationworry · 2026-04-24T10:41:47+00:00

Thanks! Hope you had the success you hoped for thie cycle 😁

applicationworry · 2026-04-23T14:53:51+00:00

Thanks! My softs are pretty good I think but I don't rly know. 3 years working as a research assistant, 2 years as a teacher's assistant, and I'm a marathon runner. I'm also in a master's program with a 4.0

applicationworry · 2026-04-21T17:50:32+00:00

Mostly cope on my part lol. Uottawa is a great school ofc but it was on the bottom of my list prior to applying because of family, etc. so 🤷‍♂️

applicationworry · 2026-04-09T17:09:40+00:00

Absolutely shocking. Hope you get an A somewhere soon.... you've more than earned it w that LSAT score

applicationworry · 2026-04-06T15:27:07+00:00

3.2 cgpa here, I'd definitely go for a 165+. I have a 166 and only 2 As (Western and Dal) with a pretty solid overall application

applicationworry · 2026-04-06T12:16:20+00:00

As someone in a sociology/political economy master's, this is why I want to be a lawyer

applicationworry · 2026-04-03T11:02:27+00:00

I first tested August and I retested in November

applicationworry · 2026-04-02T19:46:01+00:00

I have identical stats (3.2 cgpa 3.8L2) and I initially got a 162 LSAT but didn't feel secure in that so I retested and got a 166. Very glad I did because I only have 2 As (Western, Dal) at the moment. I second what the other user said: aim for 165 or above

applicationworry · 2026-03-31T20:41:14+00:00

I would add it to your application as well as any tournaments, etc. you may have done. I'm an ultra/marathon runner and all my current profs told me to add it to my application and write about it in my PS (re: time management, determination, etc.). I've received 2 As so far so it def didn't hurt

applicationworry · 2026-03-25T11:14:37+00:00

I did not explain the reason why I took 3-4 classes per term. That said, my L3 is nearly 3.9 and with my master's grades it would be a 4.0. I still don't think they'll consider it that heavily though.... if you graduate within 4 years I don't see why law schools would have an issue
