Accepted to UBC 2024

[watchchicago2002]

Just got the email I don't know what to do with myself rn. Hang in there y'all hopefully this is a good sign about them ramping A's back up?

LSAT: 171

GPA with drops: 82.8%

I applied INDG but I'm not sure what I was accepted under, though it seems like general based on the email. If anyone knows if there's an easy way to tell msg me please I'm very curious and would like to know.

Congrats! Supposedly the indigenous committee was meeting in January sometime - could you message me if you were accepted under regular or indigenous category? I applied as indigenous as well.

Have been browsing these posts for months and have one very stupid question.

When people describe their own profile of GPA etc. what does L1 and L2 mean?

Thanks.

Thanks.

L1 or L10 refers to last 10 courses ie last full year 

L2 or L20 same thing but for 2 years / 20 courses 

B instead of L refers to Best instead of Last 

hope that helps

Many thanks!  Yes that helps a whole lot.  Just I am sometimes confused seeing ppl say they have some not so ideal GPA but saying their L1 L2 are like 3.8 or 3.9/4.0 so I was wondering how would they end up having that non-ideal GPA (like 3.0/4.0) etc.  Doesn't mean their first two years were really doing not so well like 2.0?

Totally understandable! I would suggest that you start another post about this or PM if you need as conventionally on this forum they try to keep everything in the Accepted posts strictly related to acceptances just to keep them clean for everyone to view.

Seems like offers are starting up again.

Accepted today via e-mail. I will likely withdraw offer ASAP since I've already firm accepted with another school and I'd rather free the seat up for someone else. Thought I'd add a data point anyway. 

cGPA: ~85.4% (with drops, I cannot remember the exact figure) or 3.83/4.00 (OLSAS).

LSAT: 166 (90th percentile). 

Softs were average I'd say. PS was well-written, but nothing special. 

This marks school number 6/6 and my application cycle is officially over.

Congrats! How was your personal statement? I'm just curious because my stats are extremely similar to yours (80% GPA, 171) and I'm still waiting to hear back.

It's hard to say, I personally liked it and consider myself good at writing  but I feel that every law applicant also feels this way (why would one submit a mediocre statement if they were serious about their application)? I talked about how my experience in healthcare motivated me to choose law, as well as how I've taken on academic activities like teaching and peer review for accreditation of professional development courses in my field to show how I am prepared to succeed academically despite my historical low undergrad GPA (I'm a mature student).

Good luck with your Allard application! Our stats are crazy similar!

Thank you! - I actually applied discretionary with being a mature student as my justification. I've worked for 7 years since undergrad graduation (under-graduation? Idk, undergrad graduation sounds stupid haha). 

I don't know what I got accepted under; I know other people in the past have said they applied Discretionary but accepted under General. I haven't clicked the button to firm accept as I'm out of the country on vacation and it needs you to pay a $600 deposit right away. I got the email on the 12th in the afternoon PST, and the application status portal changed a day later from "Awaiting Decision" to "Offer".

Thanks for the detailed elaboration.  I applied discretionary too, but with bit worse stats yet more years of work experience (public sector) under my belt.  So just wondering whether they are starting to hand out offers for discretionary applicants as well.

Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking, what date do you have to respond to your offer by?

[hwaetnow]

Applied at 11:35 PM the last day applications were accepted, offer letter came this past Friday (3/15 I think?)

LSAT: 172
GPA: 80% with drops
Other: Applied General but I have an MA and several years post-grad work in the publishing industry. Also, I have worked as an editor and writing coach for professional school admissions essays, so I'm confident my short answers were strong.

I applied only to UBC and have already accepted.

[lawstudent02]

Just got the offer this afternoon!

LSAT: 165 (January 2024)
