CGPA: 2.99 L2: 3.88 B3: 3.82 LSAT: 160-165

Applying to Ottawa, Osgoode, UofT, Windsor, Western, Queens, UBC. 

CGPA is 1 realllly bad year (have supporting documentation) then 3 years of a 3.7+ and a significant upwards trend. I wrote my LSAT in October so score isn't out yet, but based on PT's and how I felt I'm assuming in a low-mid 160? I have a good record of involvement, and decent LOR's from profs who know me very well, but I understand these more so just don't hinder my application rather than help it. I'm applying access at some schools after explaining my situation to them, but access can still be competitive. 

My questions are:

- Do I have any sort of a chance this cycle considering how competitive it was last year? Any schools I shouldn't waste my breath on?

- I am also registered for the November exam. At what point would I be okay not re-writing in your opinion?

- Is there anything else I can maybe do to improve my application in the next week?

Thank you so much!

1) You haven't given a CGPA or real LSAT score so there's no way anyone can accurately tell you what your chances are

2) I'm not sure you'd even get a refund at this point if you cancelled your November test, so I'd just write it with the hopes that it goes even better than the October one. If you get your Oct score back and are happy with it, and can get a refund for your Nov test you can do that as well but I don't think that's an option at this point. 

3) Refine your PS, otherwise not really
