Chance me: CGPA: 3.71, LSAT: 164 (2 takes)

Hi all, 

I’m an international student very interested in doing my JD at McGill. Would appreciate thoughts on my chances based on above stats as well as several years of international work experience and a Masters degree. I’ve heard McGill has a very holistic process, so it’s hard to gauge. Nonetheless, feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Quite good!

Then it'd seem like you're a pretty competitive applicant! Stats are decent and the masters/ work experience are nice ECs. A good french background rounds it out as well. 

Obviously nothing is every guaranteed but I think you've got a good shot.

Thanks! It’s hard to discern and recently been considering schools outside the US. Only thing I was concerned about is I see McGill is the only school that uses LSAT averages as opposed to highest score. Since I took it twice, my average is a 162 (160, 164). Which I’m not sure helps or hurts based on their process. I know it’s shot in the dark either way.

Well, it doesn't help. But I don't think it does too much to hurt you either given that a even a 160 isn't a bad score. It isn't amazing but it certianly doesn't sink your chances or anything.
