Admissions overview
- Application deadline is March 1. Applications will not be accepted after this date.
- We recommend you apply early. Early applications are considered for first offers of admission and scholarships.
- Applicants are only considered once their file is complete.
- A number of places in the first-year class are kept open until all applications received by the final deadline have been processed.
- Enrolment in first year is limited to 92 students.
- Each year, the number of applications greatly exceed the 92 seats. The selection process is highly competitive in all admission categories and many qualified applicants are not selected for admission.
- Admissions policies assist in ensuring consistency and fairness, but admission decisions are wholly within the discretion of the faculty through the Admissions Committee.
LSAT-FLEX
The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) has introduced the LSAT-Flex – an online remotely-proctored condensed version of the traditional LSAT – to address the COVID-19 challenges associated with traditional LSAT administration. When reviewing applications we will treat LSAT-Flex scores as comparable to traditional LSAT scores.
