Top Law Schools

Hey guys,

OLSAS GPA: 3.95/4.0 (first three years), 3.975/4.0 (best two years [2nd and 3rd])

LSAT: 163

Classical History student at UWO going into fourth year. Just got my score back and am looking for some feedback regarding what schools are realistic for me. I have (I think) strong extra-circulars—I am a News Editor at the UWO Gazette, the largest student paper in Canada, and the only daily. It's about a 35-40 hour a week commitment. Will have good reference letters from profs.

How do I look for Osgoode and UofT?

with that GPA, you should retake the lsat and apply to the top american schools

Unfortunately, the Ontario GPA (OLSAS) system and the American system (LSDAS) are very different. Most of my marks are 90-92, which in Ontario is a 4.0/4.0 but in the states is a 3.67/4.33. So unless I've gotten something wrong it looks like American schools are out for me.

The US system, although recognizing A+ (4.33), is also thought of as a 4.0 system. Your US numbers of 3.67/163 are unlikely to generate a Top 14 acceptance although Cornell is worth a try.
