Got the email this morning!

3.85/4.0

165 LSAT

Very surprised to see this offer considering I took the Jan 2024 LSAT (after cancelling Nov). I would say I had average volunteer experience and great reference letters! Super excited to see the offer and good luck to everyone!

got the email yesterday morning!

2.17 cGPA, 3.68 final year aGPA (graduated June 2020), 177 LSAT (wrote in February 2021)

this is my second application cycle; I first applied two years ago and was waitlisted at Osgoode. my softs were definitely much stronger in my second cycle (during the two years between applications I made some very significant career moves) and I think that's what led to me getting an acceptance this time around despite my cGPA being so significantly below average.

best of luck to all those still waiting!

Do you mind sharing what your career experiences/softs are? I have similar stats and will be applying this year! Thank you

yeah for sure! when I applied the first time around I would say I had softs that were fairly good but not amazing - I had a year's work experience as a policy analyst for the federal government, a few other odd contract jobs (interviewer for statistics canada, event coordination at an investor relations firm), a lot of coaching/tutoring experience (including tutoring the LSAT), and involvement in my undergrad course union/student government. the issue was that it was quite difficult to write personal statements that tied these different experiences together narratively in a way that also addressed the extenuating circumstances that affected my undergrad GPA

in the two years between my first and second application cycles, I started working in audio journalism covering federal politics, and have also done some appearances as a panelist on different radio and TV programs outside of my main job (mostly on different CBC shows). I definitely was able to integrate those experiences into the statements I submitted for my second application cycle, and I also just think (although I'm kind of guessing here) that the fact that my work is public-facing and attached to my name probably worked in my favor. I hope this is helpful!

Got the Acceptance yesterday but didn't check and almost choked on a grape this morning when i saw it. 

I know it doesn't matter, but I've been in the queue since November 27th. 

Stats: 3.77 CGPA, LSAT: 158

Re Reference Letters and Supplementary stuff: I picked two professors who changed my life and asked them, and I think it's super hard to gauge what's a good set of extra-curriculars, but I can tell you mine were all A2J and advocacy focused. I also filled out part B. 

First A and definitely taking it! See you all in the fall!

Woohoo! My brain woke me up uncharacteristically early this morning and was ecstatic to find an acceptance email from Osgoode this morning sent at 7 am PST, letter dated today!

I was thinking I was out of the race due to my low GPA, especially after checking the online portal probably (I'm embarrassed to admit it) 100 times since November to see "in queue" and no offer.

3.26/172

Best of luck to everyone still waiting, especially my fellow low GPA applicants!

Never give up no matter what barriers you're facing. And for those of you still waiting, your time will come!

Just received an email this morning! This has always been my dream school. I cannot believe I got in!! And this early as well. For sure, I thought it would be either mid-march, waitlisted or rejected. 

Ccgpa 3.84, LSAT 156(sept) Cancelled score for January. Fourth-year applicant. Strong ps IMO, LOR's, 32 entries for extra curriculars.

To anyone who does not have a 160+, do not give up; I thought I would not have a chance, but it turns out Oz is holistic, and I did have a chance. To those who were spiralling like me on forums and Reddit accounts, watching everyone say you do not stand a chance in getting into one of the best law schools in Canada. Think again.  

Good luck to everyone still waiting. This is so surreal.

Received the acceptance this morning! Couldn’t be happier!! Honestly was not expecting it 

cGPA 3.93 LSAT 158 

Very good softs, lots of volunteering, published papers, and strong LORs

Living proof that your LSAT score does not define you and that Oz is truly holistic.
