Hi Richard,

I applied to the same program and my application was complete as of January 31st. My decision is still under review. Seems like it takes a while before they finalize their decision.
Where did/are you do your law degree?

Hey Guys!

I applied for the General LLM program on January 08, 2018. Any idea by when will they start giving offers. It has been a while!

There are literally no posts here talking about York. Is it not as good as McGill or UBC? I have heard that it has a great reputation for human rights in Canada.

Well, I know York university is still on strike at the moment, so I don't know if that is affecting the application process. Osgoode is one of the most prestigious law schools, and is top 3 in rankings, from my understanding.

@jsiri123 – Thank you for the update. I will keep you posted. I graduated in Italy (J.D.) and I am waiting for the results of the Italian Bar Exam. What is your academic/professional background if you don't mind me asking?

@uvrj – As jsiri123 mentioned York probably ranks 3rd amongst Canadian Law schools (after McGill and UofT to my understanding). Also, York is one of the few Law Schools offering a NCA approved LLM program (along with UofT, UBC, and Calgary)

Hey Richard,

No problem. And I'm in my final year currently finishing my undergraduate LLB in the UK. I am from Canada originally but went to the UK for law school. I know alot of people that went to Osgoode and I can tell you that they went on to work for reputable law firms. So, I can ensure you that Osgoode was a great choice, just hope they make a decision soon!

Does anyone know how much time an applicant would have to accept an offer of admission? I know that the GPLLM from UofT has a 1-month acceptance period policy.

@RichardBishop - Wow, Congratulations! I still haven't heard back from Osgoode, hopefully soon! But if you don't mind me asking you, what was your final average? Was it a upper-second class or lower second class?

Thank you! I hope you hear from them soon as well.

No problem at all, my final was (probably) upper-second class. To give you context, hold an Italian J.D. (plus 1 year abroad) and 2.5 years post graduation of working experience in international law firms.

Hey! Congratulations! I just got an offer from Osgoode as well for Canadian Common Law! I'm from India with about 7 years of experience in litigation. Although the website says "Admitted", I still haven't received the letter. I do have the option to accept or reject it. It says I need to make a decision before 30th May, 2018.

Ah! Good luck! Any idea how many candidates are absorbed into the course on average?

to be honest, I think Osgoode accepts most of its applications, because the entry requirements are quite flexible, and this program in particular, is advertised alot, unlike other LLM programs. I looked at a stat sheet from the previous year, and it was around 300 students.

Wow! That's an alarmingly large number! I was expecting around 20-40 people.

Did you hear back yet? I will be shortly confirming my offer once my education loan comes through.
