Hi CleanHands, thanks for taking an interest in my query, I appreciate that. For clarification: I did not go to Caribbean school (I'm familiar with the reputation they have, no offence taken). I completed my healthcare training in the US - despite having decent grades in undergrad and having a masters, I didn't make the cut in Canada. I wrote that I'm a Canadian to make it clear that I'm not a foreign applicant, just in case being a foreign applicant impacts an applicant's candidacy somehow. What I'm hearing these days is that the admissions standards for professional programs (healthcare and law included) are increasingly competitive with each passing year, and I wonder if my transcripts from 10+ years ago would even make it through a first round of cuts in present day admissions committees. -

Can you really just call them and ask like that LOL? -

I have many of the same questions as @CleanHands I find this is kind of odd as anyone who gets into Canadian Med school is laughing at the law school gpa requirements. At any rate to answer your question GPA and LSAT are the main considerations. Your work experience is valuable and will considered by admissions but you still need competitive stats. The MD mature student combo would increase your chances of being admitted but again you still need competitive stats. -

You've piqued my curiosity. Med school admission standards in Canada are significantly higher than law school admissions, so GPA shouldn't be a concern if you were able to obtain a Canadian medical degree. Your references to being a "Canadian citizen" and being interested in "law schools in Canada" seem to suggest to me you may be based out of Canada and/or studied out of Canada. If you are a Canadian MD and had the undergrad grades to get admitted you should have no issue getting into Canadian law schools (and of course mature student status and your work experience could only be a plus on top of that). So your concern is a bit odd to me. Did you get a medical degree from one of those practically open admission Caribbean medical schools or something? No offence intended, it's just that this does make a huge difference with respect to what answers people should be giving you. -

There was an MD in my JD class and (unsurprisingly) he's articling with a medical malpractice firm. -

Wondering what possibilities exist out there in the legal world. Considering making a career change. -

About me: I'm a Canadian citizen, and I'm a mature candidate (in my mid 30s). I'm a practicing health care professional with several years of work experience (I'd prefer to be vague about exactly what I do, but in case it's helpful - the prefix "Dr." is used to address me). I have completed an undergraduate and a master's degree as well. I have not yet calculated my GPAs, nor have I attempted to take the diagnostic LSAT yet. I've only just begun thinking about applying to law schools in Canada (I realize that my question may be premature without including GPA and LSAT scores) and I'm wondering if anyone in the forum would please offer me some guidance. How might my application be evaluated by an admissions committee at the following law schools: UofT, Western, Queens, UBC, McGill? How heavily will my GPA be weighted in my application after so many years being out of school? What are the criteria will be important to an admissions committee?
