As for UVic and TRU Law, if you can get into UBC then go for UBC. UVic is a good school but UBC is more highly regarded, has a greater selection of classes and is conveniently located in Vancouver so networking is easy.

I wouldn't pick TRU. Their tuition is almost double UBC's and the quality of education and job prospects after finishing are not quite there yet. It also has a reputation as a safety school - if you cannot get into UBC and also cannot get into UVic then TRU is your only choice.

Haha yeah the logical reasoning section of the LSAT is pretty fun. Its like mind games. I do remember it getting very stressful, especially for me because I needed a higher LSAT.

Good luck to your sister! Is she applying to UBC? If she has any questions or concerns I'm happy to help.
What was the makeup of your class like? Curious to know if UBC values a poli sci/economics background, seeing as both would have a strong carryover..

I would assume anyone with the aspiration of becoming a lawyer would care to update themselves on current events, politics, contemporary issues, would someone who is not as well-versed with these topics have a hard time keeping up in law school?
