I am intending to apply but is it even possible to get accepted with such a low gpa? If so, what would be the LSAT score needed?
Thank you
I’ve worked manual labour jobs my whole life, mostly because I like the exercise. Even after my bachelors I stayed working what most would consider dead end jobs. I won’t be considered a mature applicant for another year either.
I’m regretting not having proper experience now. Im aiming to be an occupational health and safety lawyer so I think my experience may be relevant, but it’s nothing special.
Hi all,
I am not sure how I will be funding my law school journey. If any of you can offer any advice or what you will be doing I would greatly apperciate it. I am so lost... also if you can answer, how much has the federal+prov loan provided you in terms of loans per year? and where did you get the rest if it was not enough? thank you very much.
Hellloo Good Evening & Happy Saturday!
I was wondering for those who got an A from TMU @ The Lincoln Alexander School of Law, would you be willing to share a bit about your stats (OLSAS CGPA & LSAT), as well as if you had strong softs/mid softs and if you were K-JD or a mature student.
Since TMU doesn’t list their admissions statistics and are holistic I would love to hear more from people who got A’s now that the cycle has come to an end more or less. Optionally you can share whether you firm accepted it or went with another school.
Appreciate and thank anyone who takes the time to do this.
Ciao.
For reference, it was only $2,500 lol. Worth mentioning or no?
Does anyone know the exact date that applications open? Having trouble finding this information online. Also, would you all recommend submitting apps ASAP or is the difference between right when the portal opens and a month later inconsequential? Not sure when schools begin to evaluate applications. Please let me know. Thanks.
Hi there. I've always loved law, but also loved science. I went into forensic science at UofT. Until this January, I had a 3.6 GPA. I changed my mind and thought I wanted to pursue Biology, so took 3 harder stem courses (2 chems and 1 physics) that dropped my gpa to a 3.2. I wouldn't have minded that if I wanted to go through with Fsc Bio, but I realized I love law too much to give it up. I've finally decided I want to be a human rights lawer, or at least some kind of law. But I'm very upset I tanked my really good GPA for a program I don't even want to pursue, and drastically harmed my chances of getting into a great law school. It's literally only 3 classes that are ruining my entire GPA.
I'm entering my 3rd year. If I try really hard, I think I can come back to a 3.5 GPA. Do I have any chances of getting into a good law school?
Hi, is anyone willing to share their PS or the first couple sentences of it? Just curious how people structure / open their stories up.
I really hope this is not a joke or an error but my portal says admissions offered today and I have until July 16 to accept on OLSAS. I cannot believe I am making this post!!!!!
6/7 rejections, no WL’s.
And then BAM the one last one was an A!!
Got in for the fall - any groupchats made already I could be added to?

Got the email just yesterday and accepted!! Wanted to write here since I was also depending on other previous WL-> A posters for some hope that the WL was indeed moving a bit.
Good luck to others on the waitlist hang in there 🕺🕺🕺
I’ve seen the next cycle of applicants start to post (I can’t seem to escape this subreddit) so I thought i’d try and offer my experience. I hope I can be helpful for somebody!😅 Might do this again later on but i’m looking for a productive way to kill time right now haha.

Just got my June LSAT score and summer grades finalized so I thought I'd put a post up for anyone willing to respond. Hoping to apply to a bunch of canadian schools in the fall (as a general applicant) and would love some advice (what my chances look like, when/if I should take the lsat again etc)
Schools I plan to apply to rn: UVIC, Western, TMU, Queens, uOttawa, UNB, Dalhousie, TRU, & UBC (Ik it's a stretch but being able to live at home would be nice)
Thank you in advance for any replies, I promise to keep updating as the cycle goes on!
anyone got any news? I remember hearing that end of June/early July was gonna be when things start opening up. I’ve been on the WL since march, I just want an answer 😭
From an applicant with very average stats. Posting as a reference for future applicants ☺️
