Chances? cGPA 3.59 LSAT 162

[Dano]

Hey there, my cGPA went down since my last time posting as I received a grade in the 60s since my last post and it dropped it.

I currently have a 162 and wrote the November test in hopes to improve my score. I have to properly calculate my L2 and B2 as my semesters were quite all over the place so I’ll wait until OLSAS does so.

I applied to all of the Ontario schools except U of T. I’ve always worked while in school and full time for the past little while. I also have a lot of volunteer experience to add on.

Do I have a shot at Western as that’s my goal/top choice?

I think you should be good for all Ontario schools except UofT and with Osgoode it will be a bit more difficult to predict but I would say you have good odds

Thank you!

You don’t think my cGPA is too low for Western or Queens?

As far I know at Western they look at your L2 and CGPA with more priority on the L2 and for Queens it is your B2. 

For reference, the most recent stats I could find for Queens: The averages for the class LSAT score and B2 GPA are as follows: LSAT- 162 and B2 - 3.75.

Based on that you seem right in line for these schools given that Western Stats are similar.

That's the most recent class profile for Queen's. LSAT is 162 and B2 is 3.8.

OP, you have a very good shot at Western. Looking at their stats above, you are pretty much at the mean or median for their admitted class. Write a good PS and you should be good.

Looks good, honestly.

At the averages for Western for sure.
