Is everyone who was accepted Discretionary going to accept? Really wondering if people got accepted general at other reputable schools as well. -

Discretionary 2024
Accepted my offer today! CGPA 4.0/4.0 and LSAT 154. Not sure which category I was accepted under, but my guess is probably the discretionary category since my LSAT was not great. Good luck to those that are still waiting to hear back!!- 1

Binding Bar Exam Materials?
I bound each individual section separately. I had friends who printed everything and stuck them in two big binders (one for solicitor, one for barrister) with dividers for each section. I don't think there's any specific method that works better than another. Re: the indices - I bound them separately as their own thing anyway. I agree that you should just print your materials now and either bind them or put them in an actual binder. No reason to wait. -

Chance me for UBC : LSAT 166 , GPA 86% (with drops), index 92.59
I had virtually identical stats and got in second wave this year. I’d say you have good chances. -

Currently down after a rejection. Please chance me for TRU, Bora Laskin, uOttawa. Already waitlisted at UNB. Rejected at UBC, UVIC, and Windsor Single
Letter grade from TRU: A- LSAT: 156, 157 OLSAS CGPA: 3.27 CGPA at my University: 3.40/4.33 L2: 3.52 B2: 3.61 Applied access/discretionary where I could as I have been supporting both my parents since end of high school/first year of university in 2019 who were disabled in car accidents (some financially but mainly care taking as I have a significantly younger sibling as well). Have a few years volunteering then working with a firm that deals with personal injury. I also worked part time throughout my undergrad. Excellent LOR from professor and retired attorney general. This is my first cycle applying and I just graduated from my undergrad in December. Had a rough first and second year taking care of my parents but kicked it into a higher gear towards the end of my second year and finished semesters with some type of Presidents/Deans Roll. -

Chances/Advice for where to apply with somewhat unique softs (GPA 3.86/4.33, LSAT T.B.D)
Softs are a roll of the dice and are nearly always trumped by GPA/LSAT. What I'm saying is, regardless of what your softs are, nobody can give you a real answer about your chances without an actual LSAT score. It's not useful/practical to estimate chances based on "anticipated" LSAT scores either.- 2

Discretionary 2024
My application was moved from Discretionary to General. Status date still the same from November when i applied. I called in and was told I was on the “General Waitlist” but i’m unsure if they confused “waitlist” with “applicant pool”. Might call back but don’t want to come across as a nuisance. -
