Hi there,
I'm thinking about applying at a Canadian university. But how are your chances? Is it generally hard to get admitted? How is the competition? There hompages sound pretty harsh..

Thanks for your input

Hi llmbound,
Have applied to Canadian law schools for Fall 2005. Havent received any acceptance letters yet. Will let you know...

As Co-Director of Graduate Studies at University of Ottawa, I can tell you that Canadian law schools are in fact friendly [not 'harsh' even if some of our websites are not very engaging].

While it is impossible to give a potential candidate a firm position of prospects for admission without seeing the full file [transcripts, letters of reference, work experience, prior research experience, etc], you should feel free to contact Cdn law schools individually to get an idea about your prospects based upon providing them with key info.

If you have already applied & not heard back yet, then feel free to contact the law school by email for a status report & they shoukld get back to you quickly to give you an ansdwer or at least a timeframe for when you'll get an answer.

Good luck.
Professor Brad Morse

Thats encouraging. thanks. Will email today for a status

Emailed the Admissions office a couple of days ago...
Still no reply... any idea when I might hear from them?
Thanks

I have applied to Mc Gill - They said that you will get an answer before May-1rst.

It takes time since the deadline was March-1rst...

Cheers

Hi Julie,
Thanks. it helps to know that there are others waiting too...I'd appreciate it if you could let us know when u jear from them. I'll do the same....

no problem - where did you apply?

Hi Julie,
Applied online around the middle of Feb and subsequently sent my supporting documnets. My Application must have been complete very close to the March 1 deadline. Have you applied to any other Canadian schools?

no I mean which school have you applied?
McGill? It is the only shool I want to go in Canada.

Oops, sorry julie read the where as when. I have applied to McGill, U of T, UWO, U of O. So far I have been told that it'll take another week or so for a decision...Let me know when you hear. Thanks

For mine it is normal that it takes so long. It will be very long story to tell you. But I ask for other, they said that decision has not been reached...

of the application on their website indicates"Ready for Review"

what do you mean?

Julie,
The Application status is available online on www.mcgill.ca/minerva
On that website when I type out my details(the 9 digit pin number provided by the university and password), it indicates my application status as "Ready for review"

Julie,
What do you mean when you said that for you it would take very long? (u mentioned its a long story and i dont want to give u the bother of typing all of it, maybe u can tell me just a bit of it?:))

can you send me an email ksfrattina@noos.fr I will tell you bit of it...:-)

Hi Julie,
have sent you an email. Looking forward to ur email...
:)

hi, applied to mcgill.
Has anyone heard anything? Admissions granted...or not?
They say I would have an answer by may 1st too... but my file is still "ready for review".
Btw, I'm stressin' the hell out of me... am i right or are they really "not so harsh"?
