What LSAT Score Do You Need for UVic Law and UBC Law?

If you’re applying to law school in BC, here’s what UVic Law and UBC’s Allard School of Law actually say about the LSAT, straight from their admissions pages.

UBC Allard

• Median LSAT of successful applicants: 168, which UBC puts at the 91st percentile.
• The January LSAT is the latest score UBC will consider, and the application deadline is December 1.
• Scores are valid for five years, and you can write the LSAT as many times as LSAC allows.

UVic Law

• UVic doesn’t publish median scores, and it has no set minimum LSAT or GPA.
• Your LSAT and GPA are weighted equally, 50% each, alongside a holistic review of your whole application.
• If you write the LSAT more than once, UVic uses your highest score.
• January is the last LSAT accepted for September admission, and scores up to five years old count.
• Your GPA comes from your full undergraduate record, and decisions are made on a rolling basis starting as early as November.

What this means for you

Your GPA is mostly set by the time you apply. Your LSAT is the half of the equation you can still move, and at UVic only your best score counts, so a retake has little downside. If you’re aiming for UBC, treat 168 as a benchmark, not a cutoff: half of successful applicants scored below it.

For Fall 2027, the January LSAT is your last chance, and registration for it closes December 1. See January 2027 LSAT: Key Dates for UBC and UVic Applicants. If you want to see which question types are costing you points, try my free LSAT mistake log.
