What was your average and your LSAT mark??? Why didnt you want to do a four year undergrad program?


Average: A

I did do the full undergrad.


If that is true...why didn't you get in? It seems like the average for most law schools is a A- and around a 162......

I don't know. I also had stellar EC's and an outstanding work record. Law school is competitive.

Because he's a troll. He has not finished university. Think about it, why would a 22-23 year old person be chatting with high school students? If they did, they certainly would not discourage them, like he does. Also, an A and 172 is a guarantee to any law school in Canada. From now on, just ignore this fruit. He has nothing better to do than make up stories.

No worries. Go to www.lawstudents.ca whenever you have an inquiry. It's a discussion board explored by countless law school hopefuls. It has a wealth of knowledge for you to fathom.

Wow. Completely false. Everything I've posted here is truthful. And I'm only 21.

No, in fact you don't need to take any law courses at any stage in your undergrad.

No, it's all about your GPA and LSAT score. Statistics actually show that Math and Physics majors do best on the LSAT.

I hope to attend law school at a reputable university somewhere in the States, but if worst comes to worst, I'll just become a drug dealer.

I'm a Quebec student, which means i'll apply straight out of Cegep.

For now my first choice stands for University of Ottawa (Civil Law) because not only i can do 1 more year and get a J.D. to access Common Law markets, but i also like the edge it has for Government jobs compared to other Quebec Law Schools...

UdeM used to be great, but with the recent increases in tuition, and it's complete lack of mobility outside of Quebec, uOttawa is a much better investment...

McGill Law is out of question for Cegep applicants, it has like 20 places and the rich kids with unbalanced R-Scores from Private Cegeps take them all, so i won't consider this option unless i go get an undergraduate degree first.

uLaval is also great all around, but stays on my fall back options.

Sherby is out of question, even if i get paid to go there.
