So I'm in pure math, with a year remaining in my undergrad at one of the better known Canadian schools (U of T or McGill, would prefer to not say which) and have a 3.5.
It's an incredibly rigorous program where almost all of us, in my track, go on to do PhDs with somewhere between a 3.0 to 3.7. I know that doesn't matter for law school, but just context that the GPA will not rise over the next year and I'm incredibly proud of where it stands (even though that's of no consequence when admission GPA averages are what they are). I took the LSAT, based off of a variation of the three month plan here (but over four months) and scored 179.
Some quick ECs:
- Spent a summer doing immunology research, which also brought me into the operating room for hundreds of hours
- Have worked with the (Canadian) Federal government on large grants for Aborigianl causes
- Spent a summer at a US investment bank in S&T (GS, JP Morgan, or Morgan Stanley)
- Played hockey competitively until Freshman year
I know my GPA is very low, and probably can't be overly compensated for by a high LSAT, but am curious if anyone can flesh out my chances.
