Hi all,

I'm 36 this year and recently thinking about doing law school in Canada. I've recently got my MBA from UK (merit only) and started thinking of law. My university GPA was awful (Cs) and that was back in 2001. After graduation, I went into real estate to get 2 professional designations (despite not having a commerce background), started my own business, and grew it that now I can hand it over to my husband and just manage behind the scenes. What LSAT score do I need to have a shot as a mature student and which schools do I have the highest chances of getting it?

Much appreciated.

Look at schools like Alberta and Manitoba that consider your graduate GPA and/or heavily depend upon LSAT score. Shoot for a 170+.

With a 'C' average it is going to be tough. Like Quincy said, aim for 170+. I would say more like 175 to really help your chances.

Shoot for 180, that is always the goal for all of us.

Why not contact the admissions offices? I went to the Law School Forum thing this year, as well as saw the representatives that they sent around to the universities, and I learned quite a bit. You are in a unique situation, so the best advice you can get is direct from the source.
