Chances? (GPA 3.84/pre-LSAT)

[RN2JD]

Cumulative GPA (CGPA):3.84

Last two years (L2):3.84

Last three years (L3):3.84

Best two years (B2):3.84

Best three years (B3):3.84

ECs: 1400+ hrs of clinical experiences (nursing), president of student union, research, work (tech), personal projects, etc. I'm honestly not worried about ECs at all. 
LSAT: just started studying so I can't really tell. I am aiming for 165+, and the assessment test predicted 165-180 (Kaplan) pre-studying.

I will aim for Osgoode or UofT. Do I even stand a chance with that GPA? One of those 3 years is 2019/2020 (aka covid year), and has one CR course, and the course load is 4 full courses.

That's a very impressive GPA you got there. Your chances will be good at both UofT and Osgoode if you score 165+ on the LSAT. 168+ to secure a position at UofT. So, aim for 170+ for practice tests in strict test conditions.

Yes. I used that excel sheet thing that was provided on this forum. If I were to use UofT scale (I'm from uoft) cGPA is 3.92 but I know its not true bc uoft's A and A+ are both 4.0

Thank you! The only thing that holds me back is my first (of the 3 best) year. I was a full time student but not with full course load (4.0 credit out of 5.0 credit) and had one half course with Pass/Fail - but its that 2019/2020 COVID year that every law school is claiming that they won't bother with those... I am unsure if I can take that statement at the face value or will still have to take it cautiously when I draft my optional statement.

First of all, you should aim for 180

Your stats will be competitive for OZ with 162+ and 168+ for UofT

Is 180 even an achievable goal for me LOL At least I guess if I get around 170 ish for LSAT, I should stand a chance for UofT (top choice)... ok, thank you for sharing your insight!!!

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ OP. Apply to the t14 schools early once you have a decent score that is either at or above the medians of the t14 schools and you will have a decent chance to get in. 

I had similar stats and I got into UofT and Oz. I applied on 3/1 (very late into the cycle) to fewer than a handful of t14 schools and I was waitlisted (this was 2020-2021 cycle, which was a competitive cycle). If you apply early with those stats, you could very well get into lower t14s. 

lmk if you have any questions.
