ON Bar Exam Indices
Just curious if anyone has any advice regarding indices for the upcoming Bar? Should one wait until UofT releases there's before printing materials? How do you get access to them (do you buy them?). Thanks! -

TMU VS Ottawa
Hey Everyone, Was just looking to get some advice about if Ottawa or TMU would be a better choice for me. TMU automatically I understand has its downfalls due to its age as a school. For me, the only things holding me to TMU have been the location being in Toronto and I can commute from home. Total about one hour each way and I have some family business in Toronto so I was hoping to keep helping with that. Both those are negligible if Ottawa is a much better option though. So was looking to get some advice from you guys. -

Pretty low GPA what are my chances please
I was struggling with the same issue, and I applied broadly. According to the information I gathered online or from the admission office, Technically, Dalhousie, Alberta and Calgary will take your graduates GPA into account. Thats to be said if your graduate GPA is above the listed median, I think you got chance with the 3 schools above. However, I do also suggest to rewrite the LSAT. A 170+ score can be a game changer in my opinion. Good luck！ -

Pretty low GPA what are my chances please
So I have a 165 LSAT, my OLSAS GPA is a 3.15, and my L2's not that much better, though I'm expecting this final semester to be a 4.0. I have a strong access claim, a unique background, good softs, solid LORs, good work experience, and good PS's. I was rejected from UCal and UVic, accepted to Ottawa and Dal, waitlisted at Osgoode, and am still waiting to hear back from a few schools. I've had a pretty successful cycle, far more successful than people online tend to say is realistic for anyone with my stats. I don't know that I'd personally recommend you to do a master's just to get into law school. That feels like a huge investment of time and money if it's not something you're separately interested in or passionate about. I think it's worth applying for at least one cycle and just seeing what happens. While stats are definitely important, we underestimate the value of uniqueness, of being able to effectively communicate your "why" for law school, and of being able to sell yourself as a candidate. My 2 cents: focus on making your application as strong as possible, apply next cycle, and don't disqualify yourself from law schools preemptively on the basis of average/median stats. You never know if you have something in your file that'll catch an adcom member's eye. Worst case scenario, you don't get in and you lose money from application fees, but that's still a lot less money than a master's, and you might be able to get feedback from adcoms to understand what to improve. Good luck with whatever you choose 🙂
