The title isn't wrong. Its TRUE! I got into law school! My little sister called me yesterday afternoon and told me I had an important letter from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law. She opened and read it to me. When I heard her read out, "Congratulations, you have been accepted..." I nearly fainted. Then I remember jumping up and down, hugging my aunt, while giving high fives to my cousins. Oh yeah, i think i yelled... "fuck the little people" a few times too (Just for clarification, i'm refering to Eastview when I say "fuck the little people").No one is more surprised than I am. My LSAT score was dismal. I'm guessing my average was the saving grace of my application. Luckily for me, not every school weights the LSAT the same. I know for instance, U of Vic only attributes 30% of the overall weighting to your LSAT, while your university GPA makes up the rest. I'm interested to hear from U of Vic but i'm not getting my hopes up. I'm not gonna push my luck.
In case you were wondering about the type of standards U of S has in comparison to other law schools here's some quick facts for you. U of S only accepts roughly 10% of its applicants, which basically means you have a 90% chance of not getting in. The average LSAT scores of their applicants is roughly 158. Most law school hopefuls know that if you score a 160, you'll prolly get in to most of the law schools you've applied too. U of Vic (which is always ranked one of the top law schools in Canada) has a average lsat score of 160 amongst its acceptees. So what's the difference between a score of 158 and 160... roughly three questions on the actual LSAT. You'll be required to answer up a 140 questions when you are writing the actual test. So, they won't let just anyone in... unless your name happens to be Terrence Ma...*Pimp*
So what does this mean? Am I coming home?
Nope. I'm seeing this through till the bloody end. I promised my grandmother and i promised myself I wouldn't half ass this second chance. I don't intend too. I'm going to study my ass off, write this test, and wait for U of T to accept me too.
