With that said, am I right in assuming I can withdraw from the October exam up until the test day, I can cancel my score on the test day with no penalty, and I can re-register for the December exam by October 30th?
That's right…
For anyone who's interested in Ontario schools, here's an excellent tool that I found on lawstudents.ca website. It gives you a breakdown of your GPA by CGPA, B2, L2 buckets. It also has a prediction index for all Ontario schools. Here's the link:

Will the admission officers actually spend the time with you on the phone to answer all your personal questions? Or is it just very generic responses?
I didn't call them but lot of Unis have phone numbers of their admission offi…
@LSATisland, if you don't mind me asking, when did you write your LSAT? The reason why I am asking is because I am scheduled to write it in December, but I may have to write Feb depending on how Dec goes down. I know for some schools, Feb LSAT is to…
@cliffiness, some schools such as Windsor, Osgoode, Ottawa look at all four of your years. HOWEVER, they are all Holistic in their approach. Meaning that if an extraordinary event caused some of your grades to suffer, you can explain that situation …
Btw, for anyone applying to Ontario schools (Toronto, Osgoode, Windsor, Western, Queen's, Lakehead, Ottawa), the OLSAS application for 2016 cycle opens tomorrow with Nov 1 being the deadline. Here's the link: http://www.ouac.on.ca/news/story/olsas-2…
I actually just spoke with admission offices of Western and Dalhousie (actually, I have spoken with them all with the exception of U of T). If your GPA is on the lower side, Dalhousie (and UNB) only considers your last 20 half credits (or, 10 full c…
Agreed. I also love this poem and revisit it from time to time as I study for my LSAT:

"Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with yet another blow."
OMG. I'm not kidding when I say that I read this poem twice this morning. I LOVE IT! And I commend you for the courage and hard work that you have demonstrated. Keep it up!!

Sorry buddy, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
You sure man? Ahh, this message did make me feel good. Jokes aside, no harm done. All's good!
Oh wow! Thanks for the additions @LSATisland!
But it does make me wonder: Is LSAT slowly losing its significance? I've heard of some schools in the States who have completely eliminated the need to write LSAT as part of the application. From what I…
Depends on where you are. If you're planning to go to an American law school, then the stuff below is irrelevant. However, if you're Canadian and/or are planning to apply to a Canadian law school, then the below makes more sense.
Keep in mind that …
A friend of mine who wrote his LSAT last Oct also had a long drive from his home to the test location. What he ended up doing was renting a motel room close to the test location because he didn't want to wake up super early and/or encounter any issu…
Also, @tanes256, you probably are already aware of this but given your history of illness, you can qualify for accommodations on the LSAT. So, if you feel like you require accommodations to level the playing field with other LSAT writers, you should…
@tanes256, first of all, I commend you for overcoming adversities and never letting your circumstances get the best of you. I am looking forward to the day when you become a big shot lawyer and give seminars to people about how you rode past your si…
