How to get an entrance award/scholarship at schools such as Osgoode/Western/Queens - is LSAT given more preference or GPA?

Does anyone know if these entrance scholarships are conveyed with admission, or only later? I got into Osgoode and Queens back in the first week of admits, with stats well above their medians, and was hopeful for something but just got a standard admission letter. It would really make the difference for me if one of the two of them were to offer something..

They're usually given after you've been admitted

In my experience it can happen when you've been offered admission and also after you have already accepted. I was offered scholarships by Osgoode after I was offered a spot but before I accepted (I ultimately declined). I was given a scholarship by U of T after I accepted. I think in general scholarship timing is fluid because they are likely being used to entice candidates to accept their offers.

Update for anyone reading this thread in posterity: I recently received my entrance scholarship offer to Osgoode two months after I was accepted, so yes, that is normal. 🙂
