Do Ontario Schools just take top score?

Ive heard mixed feelings (especially with UofT)

If I retake and score lower, will that hurt my application?

No. Every school in Canada takes your HIGHEST score.

@theroaringbadger With the risk of being slightly pedantic, McGill averages scores and a western school (UofC i believe?) has said that while they take the highest score, they take all scores into account.

Fair enough. But I think UOC stopped. But other than that ur good.

I checked this a while back because I disagreed with someone advising people not to write on the basis of score averaging.

I still think that was bad advice, but a surprising number of Canadian schools don’t state they only consider the top score. Something like 5 of the 18 Canadian common law schools are either ambiguous or explicitly state they consider multiple writes.
