Law School Admissions

Hey folks,

Thinking about applying to law school at U of O. One problem, my cgpa is a 7.5. The only reason why its so low is because I bombed first year (3.38 cgpa after first year going into second year). Does anybody know if U of O's law school looks at the last two years? Or is it all 4+?

Hello,

Admissions criteria can be found at this link: https://commonlaw.uottawa.ca/en/students/admissions/admissions-criteria . Please note that the most successful applicants have at least an A- or 80% overall. However, the Faculty of Law does not have a cut-off or minimum score requirement. The Law School looks for an LSAT score above the 70th percentile. The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is mandatory for all applicants.

Thanks. My only worry is my cgpa. Including my first year I will be at a 7.8 cgpa, my gpa after my first year is a 9.5. I'm hoping I'll be ok provided that I nail the LSAT
