I think the OP is talking about Canadian schools, though, and that’s a whole different universe. My apologies. Since others were suggesting applying to US schools, I assumed the advice would be relevant. I should have clarified. ---

I think the OP is talking about Canadian schools, though, and that’s a whole different universe. True, but the trend in the Canadian schools is toward just using the highest score. ---

If you make a large enough donation to most law schools you will be accepted. I don’t know how much. You can ask. I found this out by talking to an admissions director for a big university (you’ve heard of it) and she told me that there is definitely a price. I believe she said that it was $250,000 contribution for an undergraduate. If you have unlimited resources, just do it.
