Chances? cGPA 3.56/ 3.9 L2 / 3.83 B3 / LSAT 154 & ?
harveyspecter993 replied to orion897's topic in General Discussion
Congratulations on the score improvement. You should receive a positive response from Queen's and Western sometime between January and March 2018. I also think you'll hear from Dal this December. -
Fall 2018 chances [3.82, 4.0, 162]
harveyspecter993 replied to rachelzane12's topic in General Discussion
Why would not working throughout your degree be a minus? To answer your question though, I'd say, assuming you write a decent personal statement, you're basically in at every school apart from U of T. You might hear back positively from U of T in late March though. -
How do I deal with a referee on sabbatical?
harveyspecter993 replied to harveyspecter993's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the replies guys. I was a bit hesitant to ask for a home address so I definitely won't be doing that now. I've emailed him to ask if electronic copies of the papers will be fine and I'm waiting for his reply. -
Towards the end of last semester, I spoke with three profs about my law school application and they agreed to write references for me. I later found out, though, that one of the profs is on sabbatical this year. The prof in question requested me to provide him with copies of all the papers I had written for him to aid in his reference letter. He obviously won't be on campus this year since he's on sabbatical. I was considering emailing him to ask for his home address to post the papers to him but I'm not sure if that would be too forward, plus I'm not even sure if he's in Vancouver at the moment, or what is travel schedule is like. I'm not really sure how to deal with this situation and was hoping to get advice from anyone who's dealt with similar circumstances or anyone in general who has a good idea of what to do. Thank you.

Could you please elaborate? Schools seem to have put a significant degree of thought into the questions, especially Western's second essay this year.

Advice on where to apply with my stats
harveyspecter993 replied to splitter03's topic in General Discussion
Have you thought of staying in university an extra year to bump up your L2? -
Chances/ cgpa 3.79 (84.30%)/ l2 3.82 (85.04%)/ LSAT 160
harveyspecter993 replied to Bart's topic in General Discussion
Assuming the other components of your application are strong, I'd be surprised if you failed to get into any of these schools. -
My to do list on bear tracks only lists my personal statement as outstanding. I would have thought transcripts would be on that list and then taken down once they were received. IIRC, that's how the admissions portal for my undergrad applications were. Is there a way to know if they've received my transcripts without contacting them, I don't want to seem like a pushy applicant.

HELP! Rolling admissions 2018?

So there's no advantage in applying early other than peace of mind, it seems. -

Once schools do receive applications, are the applications reviewed in the order in which OLSAS received them or are they ranked by GPA and LSAT and viewed from highest to lowest? -
"At least" is synonymous with "minimum", so yes, you can send three. My guess why they haven't put a maximum is that they're expecting applicants to use their better judgement.

How vital is my Personal Statement? (L2 3.88, LSAT 164)
harveyspecter993 replied to crh20's topic in University of Alberta
If you're smart enough to have that GPA, you should know the answer to this question. -

Chances? (3.54 cGPA/ 3.8 L2 / 157)
harveyspecter993 replied to rondelle's topic in General Discussion
If you can get a 160, I'd guesstimate that you'd receive offers sometime in 2018. -
How do law schools know whether a referee has tenure? Do they look them up?
-
Does it matter whether or not one's references have tenure or are sessionals?

Accepted to Osgoode 2017
harveyspecter993 replied to aq112's topic in Osgoode Hall (York University)
I'm surprised it took so long. You're just about there for both medians. When did you sit the LSAT? -
There's not even an outside chance of getting into New York directly from UNB or UM. Your best hope would be to transfer to Osgoode or U of T (Or McGill, if you speak French) after 1L.

When I asked this question previously, the answer was in sometime in August.

Failing 2 classes and still having a 3.5 is quite a feat, I must say.
