My Canadian law school applications and LSAT out the experience - to have the same aspirations to a point of reference

After a month full of surprises, can finally have time to sit down to summarize and share with everyone, from about a year ago decided to change careers to now holding a lot of offer, which is passed through a very long process, now LSAT and offer are now begin to prepare want to all dare not to think. When January 2nd saw LSAT full score, when Osgoode and UBC offer. When I was in the email, there is a Is it right? In dream feeling. I think if I have the same aspirations of you, go for it. Although the law school is only a starting point, but a better tomorrow in front waiting for us, isn't it?

Brief introduction about my background: Tu Bo, grief biological professional, 09 years to America do postdoc in Johns Hopkins, actually the research did a good job, but the research interest slowly depleted. Plus I itself is relatively active, relatively good toss, has been on the western judicial system of interest, so the autumn of the year 11 was determined to change the world. At about the same time got the maple leaf card. The J1 visiting scholars visa bond so America green card away, so he decided to no longer in the U. S. laboratory waste of life and to the beautiful maple leaf country to study law.

My undergraduate GPA sucks (WES conversion after 3.2 or so), so that after the conclusion of the study is only in the LSAT test score I got into law school hope, at that time felt that as long as you can into the law school thank one's stars. U of T, Osgoode, UBC top school simply want to all dare not to think.

Although I have decided to apply for admission in 2013, but in order to give yourself one or two times of test scores of opportunity, I chose in 12 years in February, the first test LSAT. The prepared to spend about three months. Because at the same time to go to work, so the preparation process is very hard, often is the class went straight to the library, see ninety o'clock to go back to the lab and continue to do the experiment. A start doing Zhenti time has been 160-165, so I had to give his final goal is 170. The reference room was first prepared using Powerscore Bible, this book is quite good for beginners, the starting point is not high, on the analysis of various types of various types are very thorough. Then is to keep doing. Before the exam basically simulation in 170 up and down, so full of confidence into the examination room.

Into the examination room to know many details and they think differently, although not act with confusion but the rhythm is affected by a number of, here I want to remind the first time the LSAT test students: familiar with the details for you can get high marks will have a great impact. If some personal humble opinion of you my interested can send me email. I am willing to share my experience with you. A month later, received a record 167 points, though, and expected a little gap, but still very satisfied. Because according to the usual admission results, I should have law school read!

If you do not get degree in English speaking countries, many schools require TOEFL or IELTS, I applied the school is only much and UBC need not, in general, the TOEFL score requirements (IBT) is the total score 100+ writing 24. TOEFL test scores in the summer time, anyway, enough OK, test 100 and 120 I think there won't be any difference.

The next step is to apply for business, the application of UBC in 11/1, in 12/1, I apply the Ontario in addition to the newly established Lakehead six all plus UBC. The application also spent a lot of time, is each school to write PS and requirements are not the same. After fighting for a few days, I wrote a life of the most flamboyant a set of PS, a sweat... After that, these grandiose may still play some role in the process of application... Or made a small mistake, the most serious is forgot to fill out the Osgoode Hall financial form, directly to me and all Entrance Scholarship no chance, so intend to apply you must read the OLSAS guide carefully, don't omit any requirements. Non Canadian transcripts to WES Canada (not WES US) certification, if is the degree you need about two months time. So if your degree take the thing in the home, I suggest you summer vacation began WES certification. When I was fall began to engage in, finally really catch.

It was last summer I decided in December to take LSAT again, in order to give yourself plenty of time to prepare, in October I quit USA job and moved to Toronto, began as a Canadian PR life. The second time I LSAT preparation is also three or four months. I use this reference book is Manhattan, the set theory to some logic and reading about the deep, so I think it is not suitable for no or low starting point for students, but very suitable for re examination or want to take an examination of 170+ candidates. For this time I feel ready to accept either course last many problems finally clear, slowly, the simulation results are stable at around 175, full preparation and test for more than a month. When entered the big exam, I feel very confident.

Then the January character outbreak, 1/2 afternoon, I received the score email thought it wrong, the results carefully looked after realized I got full marks 180 ! This is I never dare to think. It was originally GPA got very dark application prospect is bright, the next few weeks, have received Osgoode Hall, UBC, Western and Queen's offer. Because I'm going to stay in Toronto, so now should be take Osgoode Hall, of course, if much behind the message to the offer will be a good choice for a. It is a very lucky, I really want to get this lucky passed every going to walk the road of the chinese.

Finally, my email is:Hollandnk@live.com And we are willing to exchange in the law school examination, various problems of the application and future in the process of reading. Also hope to have in the system predecessors can feel free. I wish all the students interested in law school have good luck. I hope to write these can give you some help.
