A student asks for advice on writing papers. Another student says to establish a topic, gather resources, and skim the abstracts and summaries. This student then suggests narrowing or broadening the topic accordingly. The student pulls quotes or ideas from the (electronic) resources to generate the outline’s topics and subtopics.

Another student suggests downloading an essay planner template from Google. [An example: an essay planner template that doesn’t need to be purchased, but typed and bulked up with quotes pulled from electronic resources]

Can AU take you to law school? A student asks if anyone has progressed to law school from an AU degree. A student indicates that the GPA and LSAT score are the true deciders for entry into law school and provides the following link for assessing Canadian law schools ‘specializations and criteria for admissions: https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/resources/legal-education/canadian-law-schools-202324-resources-if-youre-considering-whether-and-where-to-become-a-lawyer/379240.

[For example, for first-year admission to Queens University, a student at AU would need at least an A- (3.7 GPA) in the two best-performing undergraduate years with a full course load plus an LSAT score of at least 160. An AU student will also receive greater chances of acceptance into the program if they have a disability, financial disadvantage, ample life experience, or anything else indicating DEI. In these cases, LSAT scores will be given less weight while the above DEI factors are allotted greater weight. https://law.queensu.ca/admissions/jd/admissions-process/first-year/admission-categories]
