Generally, entry into law programs in Canada is based primarily on a combination of the student's previous grades as well as, for English-language common-law programs, their score on the [[Law School Admission Test]] (LSAT). Factors such as specialized degrees, work experience, community involvement, personal character, extracurricular activities and references are sometimes taken into account, for which the Universities of [[University of Calgary Faculty of Law|Calgary]], [[University of Windsor Faculty of Law|Windsor]] and [[McGill University Faculty of Law|McGill]]'s holistic law school admissions are well known, but the LSAT remains far more determinative of admission than comparable standardized tests for other disciplines, such as the [[MCAT]] or [[GMAT]].
