Hi everyone,

I am very interested in pursuing law (particularly IP law) at any Ontario law school. I come from a STEM background, and didn't have a great cGPA during undergrad and I took 5 years to complete it due to a major switch + personal circumstances which forced me to take a reduced course load. After undergrad, I decided to work on building up my PS, but I'm worried that I still won't be able to get in anywhere because of my cGPA. More details below:

-Completed an honours BSc @ u of t, 3.50 cGPA*

-2 years of work experience as a research assistant, got listed as an author on a few publications

-Completed my master's degree this summer (worked last summer as a research assistant) - and graduated on time

-Received an Ontario college graduate certificate + a professional designation 

-Extracurriculars: an executive member of two clubs during grad school

*However, I only took 4 courses per semester (one semester I took 5, but in my final two years, I took 3 courses in each year). Will I still be able to get into a law school in Ontario? If not, is there a way I can still make it in? Thank you all in advance!
