Any hope of getting in with a 3.57 L2 & 168 LSAT?

My CGPA is 3.55 - unfortunately my L2 is only at 3.57 as I underperformed in my first semester of 3rd year. I also attended an institution outside of Ontario for my undergrad, & I noticed that when my grades were converted to the OLSAS scale from a percentage from a percentage based scale to OLSAS’ 4.0 scale, my GPA looked a bit worse / was suppressed, which doesn’t help. 

I did apply Access however, citing a mental health condition that was properly documented & have been dealing with since the beginning of undergrad. I was hoping that a 168 LSAT could somewhat compensate for the weak L2 GPA, but based on my observation it seems a majority of candidates accepted have an L2 that is respectably stronger than their CGPA, assuming their CGPA wasn’t strong already. 

in my 4th year, I did achieve a GPA of 3.86, however.

as of now, I am retaking the LSAT to try to achieve an even great score, hopefully at least in the mid 170’s. 

thank you in advance for your opinions during this stressful time

Fwiw, I was accepted before Christmas with a 3.55 / 164. Rooting for you. Best of luck!

Congrats, was your 3.55 gpa your L2 / L20 courses? If so then it does make me feel better.

Did you apply elsewhere?

 

I did, but my CGPA is really no different from my L2 so doesn’t help. I do have a B2 of 3.82 & B3 of 3.75 which are useful for Queens & UofT though. But there was a year (my last year) where I only took 3 courses per semester (since I no longer needed electives) so while it is still considered full time studies, it’s not a full course load so I’m not sure how that’s going to factor in their decision making

Adding on for what it's worth, I was admitted in December with a 3.6 B2/L2 and a 166 LSAT. Hoping you get that offer!

Congrats! I’m curious though, does your L2 gpa reflect you having taken a full course load (5 courses per semester) in your last 2 semesters? I did not so they’ll be taking my last 20 courses instead, apparently. That’s how I calculated the 3.57

Yup, I took 5 courses in each of my last 2 semesters.
