hello!!! i've applied to the jd faulty from ottawa and still have yet to hear back! i've seen posts on here say that people get interviews? is it only when youre a cegep student and not like myself who came from an english schooling background?

im considering reaching out to the admin office to get some clarifications on my applications because its still pending and loosing hope day by day. what do you think? grateful for any advice ◡̈

Yello!! I would really appreciate any advice you have:

- ##>155 LSAT (i had extreme extenuating circumstances (abuse/mental), including a medical note), 3.7 overall CGPA (L2/B2 3.9 and 4.0 respectively)

- i can't take the lsat again i maxed out my 5, i wrote an incredible PS imo and explained all my reasons, why i want to join certain schools because of their legal clinics, and how because of my EC i turned to civic service, i own my small non-profit, 5 years government experience, 4 years nonprofit volunteering (unicef & UN)

- recent undergrad graduate 2026

- one rec from my previous director at my job whose a lawyer who said he sees all lawyer qualifications in me and a tenured international law professor from my current uni

I applied to 7 canadian schools: I have 1 WL, and I am still pending at queens & mcgill. I think there is a likelyhood of a WL more than an A.

the thing is i was already accepted to several law schools in the UK because i needed backup options. do you think there is a chance for the rest of these canadian schools? :(
