UNB vs Western - Mature Student, Environment vs School/Prestige
Relatable, and it is dumb. Overall though, I don't think it's one of those cases where the right choice is the less prestigious one. I'd go to Western. -

UNB vs Western - Mature Student, Environment vs School/Prestige
Western seems like a no brainer here. It's more "prestigious" than UNB. But more importantly, it's closer to your support network and it has better career opportunities for Ontario compared to UNB. Having the scholarship from UNB is nice, but I don't think this makes up for the fact that it is still out of province with worse career opportunities than Western. -

UNB vs Western - Mature Student, Environment vs School/Prestige
Hi Everyone! Last time I posted here, I received some excellent advice. I am hoping for some insight from impartial views and those who are more familiar with law schools in Canada than close friends/family. I’ll try and condense my thoughts below. I’ve narrowed down my decision between Western and UNB, however I am truly struggling with making a decision. Some background on me: - I am a mature student living in Southern Ontario. I own a home so I have a mortgage I’d need to balance while in law school. After rent (family discount) my mortgage will still be $1200/month + utilities. - I have not made any decisions on what law I want to practice in. I’ve only grown my area of interest to be honest, and they range from public to will/estate to family to compliance to AI to big law. The reasons why I’ve narrowed it down to Western and UNB are mainly because of living cost. Western is the most affordable in Ontario, UNB is the most affordable outside of Ontario. I’ve visited both schools and it’s come down to environment vs the school. Western I believe the school will offer me the most advantages when it comes to developing my career. They have many options to allow me to explore my area of interest (SA1L, clinics etc) It is roughly a 2hr drive from home. I am the primary go-to person for all home issues/repairs so this would be extremely helpful. I have not heard about any scholarships yet, but COL with be more manageable than Queens or Osgoode. I’d definitely be leaving with some debt I might be able to keep my current part time job and go back home on weekends. The tips at my job are great so it would be really helpful for money management A lot more distractions and I am not keen on living in a city like London so I’d want to go home as often as possible. UNB Really loved the school’s vibes when I went to tour here. I immediately could see myself attending, however it may have just been a “honeymoon” phase since it was the first school I toured and before I received any acceptances I’ve been offered a scholarship and with grants, my first year tuition would be covered. I’d only have to worry about living expenses (plus mortgage and utilities back home) It’s much further away from home. I’d be bringing my dog with me so to visit Ontario it’d be a drive vs flight. Family would be excited to visit me in Fredericton however The school itself does not seem to have as many opportunities as Western, and would be a disadvantage for relocating back to Ontario I really believe I can thrive in this environment. I city is small and quiet, there would be minimal distractions so I can focus on law school 100% and possibly get a scholarship in second and third year. I am also struggling with the idea of getting accepted into all these amazing law school, and “settling” for UNB. Prestige is an issue I am struggling to overcome. I went to a “tier 3” university for my undergrad and got flack for it, but I also got admitted to Queens, Osgoode, Western, Ottawa, Dalhousie, Alberta and UNB so of course my “tier 3” undergrad doesn’t matter. It feels like going to UNB gives an impression it was the only place that accepted me?? This probably sounds really dumb. I’d appreciate any advice you can provide, no matter how big or small. Even if it’s just a list of questions for me to explore. I truly appreciate your time and knowledge. -

How to lock in for a 168+ score
I think if you’re gunning for an elite score, you should change things up. 7Sage seems to be recommended by almost everyone on here. Personally, I think once you get the fundamentals down, test-taking modules or prep books become useless. You’ll get more value out of constantly drilling timed sections on previous tests and taking time to figure out on your own why the right answer is right. Having the answers spoonfed didn’t really help me. Caveat: I was NOT a perfect scorer. But as I’ve come to reflect on my process, I’ve realized a lot of these test prep materials are gimmicky. See if you can simply purchase (or download) all of the prior tests and work it out on your own if you feel like you understand the core rules. -

How to lock in for a 168+ score
I'm kind of in a similar boat. Studied for 2 months using Blueprint Self Guided. 141 diagnostic up to 154 on Jan LSAT. My GPA is 3.10 with some okay softs but I don't think that's enough for Ontario law schools and I've been rejected by 2 already. Blueprint was great at teaching me the ropes but their schedule was insane. I was doing 6-7 hours daily for 2 months and pissed through like 1700 questions before test day (they recommend 2000). I want to study smarter-not-harder for June LSAT. I struggle with finishing the sections on time but on actual test day, I did everything perfectly fine. The pindrop silence was a better test environment than my practice at home. So that's one tip I can share. Get some earmuffs or noise cancelling headphones and find a tiny cubicle and you can focus on the questions better. I'm not sure if I should resub to Blueprint or something like it or consider a new method going forward. I think I hit a point of diminishing returns by aggressively studying from 0-LSAT in 2 months. I was thinking of going through LSAT Loophole book and doing PT's on LawHub. I just want that 165+ because I think that'll get me in with my resume, letters of recommendation, etc. EDIT - Realized this is an old post. I hope you got the score you wanted! -

Has anyone received a rejection yet?
Got one yesterday from Western. A week or so prior, U of T's ridiculous Tumblr acceptance/application blogsite said if you haven't heard from them then you are in Round 3 / waitlist deliberation. I don't believe they do a formal rejection. -
