I believe I applied the last week of October just before the November 1st deadline.

In terms of softs, I think mine really helped with my admission to this program. I have 2+ years of consistent volunteering experience with a justice related agency, a variety of unique working opportunities including positions within the legal system and working directly with remote northern communities. I also had some small roles in campus student clubs.

So happy to be posting here! Just got admitted yesterday; my status changed to "admitted" on UOZone and then I received a notification email this morning. I'm not sure if I'm calculating these correctly but my stats are:

cGPA: 3.47/4 (79.5%), L2: 3.77/4 (85.4%). LSAT: 162. 

I'm not really sure what qualifies as having "good softs" but in my PS I talked about how I have a year of research experience and am first author on a paper, have been working as a technician/researcher in the government for close to a year, and did debate and moot court in my undergrad. For what it's worth, I also applied in the special circumstances category because I had to help care for a severely ill parent during my degree. 

I'm so thrilled because this is my first time applying to law school, and this is also my first acceptance! It doesn't even feel real yet. I had a really, REALLY hard time academically in first and second year sciences (I think my first year average was about 69%), so for those of you in the same boat, don't give up - there is hope. Good luck to those still waiting!

Hey there! Congratulations on the acceptance!

I was wondering what type of work you are doing at your law firm?
