2021-2022 cycle applicant here. Does anyone know what weight LSAT scores have on the distribution of entrance and named scholarships at DAL, UCalgary, UofA and TRU? The only mention I can find is that for many scholarships, they look at "academic excellence".  Does that include LSAT scores? I have a 3.92/4.0 AGPA and 4.08/4.3 and was wondering if I should rewrite the LSAT despite scoring above those schools' medians to maximize my chance at a scholarship.

I think for UCalgary the entrance awards do include LSAT but that's only anecdotal, as I have a friend with an OK GPA but absurdly high LSAT that got a great scholarship.

It makes sense to account for LSAT if you think about it from the school's perspective. They're trying to convince applicants that likely have other offers in hands to choose Calgary, and the most attractive applicants (aka the ones that need the most convincing) have both high GPAs and high LSATs.
