I have heard some big law doesn't allow that at all, McCarthy and Goodmans do allow, but I think it's 1-2 students each year. -

Setting aside whether firms carry a bias against would-be splitters at the callback or offer stage, many Toronto firms simply do not offer splits and will decline to interview you upon learning that you are already have a job lined up in New York. I have also heard that firms may set a quote for split-summers, preferentially given to students who have already spent 1L at the Toronto firm, to ensure they do not over-hire splitters, who generally do not return to article in Canada. This could mean your competition is more stiff than if you were a "normal" 2L applicant, as I would assume successful Canadian applicants for NYC 2L summer positions sit on the higher end of the 1L grades spectrum. -

How much more difficult is it to land a 2L split-summer position between New York and Toronto relative to a normal 2L summer position? -

Robson Hall uses a system of dropping your worst 30 credits on a 4.5 scale. I am L2 3.9 / 4.0 at home, but 4.1 / 4.5 at Robson Hall. For someone like me, my grade is lowered a tiny bit, but their system may complement you more. It is worth looking into what your grades would look like when taking that into consideration. If it helps as a data point, I was 4.1 / mid 150's LSAT, and I was waitlisted around the 90th spot, and I likely will not get an acceptance there this year based on how the waitlist is moving these days. Even with a very highly competitive GPA, a score below 160 on the LSAT can drop you very badly (although I'd say for me personally, if I scored 158 or above, I probably could've gotten in). I'd say your best bet is rewriting the LSAT and trying to score 163 or above if Robson Hall is specifically where you are trying to go. A score of 163 and above would probably open you up to other options as well. -

I would say you’re likely in during second or third wave. Your cGPA is great, and you have a good LSAT score. Since you don’t have Nova Scotia connections, it would help if you dedicated a bit more time in your PS explaining “why Dalhousie.”
