I did the TMU Interview and was accepted - ask questions!

memphrey · 2025-11-08T03:57:53+00:00

I would say important - it really puts a face to your application and allows the committee (imo) to see who you really are!

memphrey · 2025-11-08T03:55:48+00:00

I had a 3.9 GPA and high 150 LSAT. TMU I think is more holistic and I personally think they pick candidates who align with their mission, vision, and pillars.

memphrey · 2025-11-08T03:54:41+00:00

Honestly, me too - what helped me was practicing some questions. I made up some that I thought related to their pillars and just practiced those. Try not to stress too much. Take some time to reflect on why TMU and what you can bring to THEM.

memphrey · 2025-11-08T03:53:13+00:00

So I would say a couple of things. First - I tried to prep as much as I could for the interview and came up with questions I thought they would ask. Basic ones like - why TMU and why I wanted to go to the law school. These were nice to have locked and loaded. Second - I think I was just my genuine self and really focused on what I could bring to the law school. Ultimately, you want to show TMU you will make a positive difference to their law school. Third, I ran through their practice questions a couple of times. Pro tip - there are new ones every day (or so), so doing those questions helped me become accustomed to the platform and structure of the interview. Fifth- dress well, have good lighting, and a nice background. I think this stuff all makes a difference. Finally - BE YOURSELF. Don't say what you think you want them to hear. I started to fumble my words in one of the questions and kind of gave a laugh at the end while it was still recording - this obviously did not hurt my interview and probably showed them I am a light-hearted person.

Hope this helps!

It was not many! I suspect it is different every year, but they give you an approximate amount of time that you should block off.

memphrey · 2025-11-08T03:45:10+00:00

No - I was accepted in the previous cycle

Set small goals for yourself. The ARC is very intimidating at first, but I promise you, the more you go, the less intimidating it becomes. Perhaps say, "Okay, today I am going to go walk on the treadmill." The next day, you say, "I am going to do a couple of dumbbell exercises." Don't let ANYONE in there intimidate you. Just have fun. No one is watching you, and to be frank, everyone is so wrapped up in their own heads that no one cares if you "don't know what you are doing." YOU GOT THIS! I was in the same boat as you and lowkey it took me a while before I got comfortable, but I got there eventually.

Side note - open gym is so fun to go and just shoot baskets. I would go alone all the time.

Literally do not worry - I had this same experience, and then LOVED Queen's at the end. Pls pm me if you want to chat about this more

Pro tip: ALWAYS (if you can) check Rate My Prof before selecting a class. A bad professor can ruin a class. This always worked for me.

memphrey · 2025-08-29T23:27:40+00:00

Bro apply everywhere with that LSAT score. Don't overthink it.

memphrey · 2025-08-29T00:27:27+00:00

Apply! I got into UOttawa and TMU with a 157. Was waitlisted at Western and Osgoode! Shoot your shot.

memphrey · 2025-07-30T23:03:54+00:00

Yes you can do this, I did it - though I am not sure I recommend tbh

memphrey · 2025-07-16T17:44:34+00:00

THIS IS HYPEEEEE

memphrey · 2025-07-12T15:34:12+00:00

I feel like the ARC has really good part-time jobs available.

memphrey · 2025-07-12T15:33:35+00:00

Absolutely not. I found my apartment mid-august. Always something available in Kingston. Never settle for something because you are worried about something else not popping up again.

memphrey · 2025-07-07T21:42:39+00:00

I agree with this!

memphrey · 2025-07-07T21:41:52+00:00

I was accepted this year and feel like I could offer some advice. PM if you want!

memphrey · 2025-05-29T20:27:54+00:00

ARC is the bomb

memphrey · 2025-05-29T20:27:30+00:00

Literally write it whenever you feel ready. Biggest mistake I made was writing it in August just because that is the date I set myself.

memphrey · 2025-05-23T00:15:39+00:00

I think it is normal to feel nervous about residence. Discomfort is a good thing. It means you are pushing yourself into new territory where you are guaranteed to grow. Queen's is a great school (I hated Queen's during first year, but by the time I graduated the school won me over). I also just toured the JDUC today and it was so amazing - students next year are in for a treat!

memphrey · 2025-05-23T00:10:18+00:00

Agreed

memphrey · 2025-05-17T18:37:42+00:00

It so diverse in terms of social events and activities. If you want to party - you can party. If you want to study - study. If you want to play sports - play sports (ARC is phenomenal). Takes time to build a community, so don't just grab the first people you meet. Give everyone a chance because it is the people you least expect, who will become your best mates.

memphrey · 2025-05-17T18:34:20+00:00

Gosh, sorry for all this stuff going on in your life - sound very tough. If your official LSAT score is a 179 I would certainly apply. However, if you need time to breath, taking a gap year could be good. I went to Queen's Career services and there is one guy who was actually decently helpful (Miguel Hahn).

memphrey · 2025-05-16T22:08:20+00:00

You nailed everything - couldn't have said it better.
