Chance me please! cGPA 3.7 LSAT 165

[kt2025]

Hi! I'm planning on applying next cycle, right now I'm thinking about UBC, UVic, TRU, UOttawa, Dalhousie, and UCalgary.

My cGPA is a 3.7/4.3 or 3.83 with drops and OLSAS GPA estimate is 3.53 

LSAT 165

I have worked throughout my entire undergrad and have decent softs including volunteer experience in a courthouse

Curious to hear any input!

UBC: unlikely for general category;

TRU: very likely;

UO and Dal: decent chance;

I don't know about UCalgary, but I heard people said it's hard to predict UCal.

UCalgary can definitely be difficult to predict, but on their website they do say that their average accepted GPA and LSAT are 3.70 and 164 (https://law.ucalgary.ca/future-students/admissions-jd-programs/assessment-of-applications). Your LSAT is right on the mark so that's great, but your GPA is a little shy of 3.7/4.0.  However, in my experience (I was accepted this year with a 3.5/4.0 GPA and 164 LSAT), your personal statement is really important with UCalgary. So long as you spend a good amount of time being thoughtful about crafting a great personal statement I'd expect you'd have a good shot at UCalgary. I also applied to UO and UBC this year and I was accepted at UO and rejected at UBC (OLSAS had my GPA at 3.37).

 

Good luck!!
