Chance Me pls! OLSAS cGPA 3.19, 3.59 L3, 159 LSAT, decent ECs.

3.19 CGPA, 3.43 L2 (Y3-4), 3.59 L3 (Y3-5). Under OLSAS scale.

Had a very rough first year that tanked my cGPA badly. I took a number of summer classes and a shortened fifth year (3 courses a semester) so it's a little hard to accurately calculate my L2 and L3 the way that the schools might.

LSAT 159

Taking it again in November and have been PTing low to mid 160s. My goal is 165 minimum.

I have Reference Letters from two heads of their departments at my Uni and my ECs include being an exec of a student group (specialized in running law orientated events).

Chances for UOttawa, Queens, and Western? Also looking at Thompson Rivers, Dalhousie, and Calgary for this cycle.

To be honest, not much has changed since your last post. The softs you listed (EC and ref letters) are quite common. Of course, they don't detract from your application, but they add marginal benefit if any. Until you get your LSAT up, not much will change from my reply to your last post. Best of luck.

I think you might have a shot at UOttawa if you get that 165 cause you're GPA could be offset by the higher LSAT, but it might be pretty close to the belt. Hard to predict really, but not impossible I think.

Have you considered maybe applying to Windsor where the average is listed as a 4L-3.12 LSAT-155 (plus it's holistic review process)?
