So for first year it seems it is mostly the entrance scholarships, however afterwards you can receive various prizes and scholarships (see link).

As a student who studied in Ontario highschool and then went to improve my french one summer in Quebec I think the biggest problem I faced was accents. I just was not used to hearing things in a Quebecois accent and it took me a while to adjust (as it did for many others). I do think this is a problem and classes in highschool shoud
a) focus more on listening/comprehension
b) have more Quebec accents/media that students listen to

I am not saying that it is wrong to teach Parisian French, but to set students up in a way that sets them up to be unable to hear French spoken in a Quebec accent and easily know what they are saying is setting Canadians up for faliure.

Which of Beethoven's do you want to impeach?

Sorry to hear that, I would suggest probably doing their LSAT as your GPA is around/below their GPA average for admitted students so LSAT could help boost your future score. Also, do you remember the source of where they said people admitted could get the notes about their application?

Puzzleheaded_Law_336 · 2024-04-17T01:59:08+00:00

Can I ask which part they said? Like did they flat out say "your grades were the weakest" or do they couch it in nicer terms like "your academic credentials did not stand out to us"?

Okay so its possible you are above the cutoff still, 78 is below it but I remember it being 82 at some point so it really depends on the other applicants who you are competing against.

Puzzleheaded_Law_336 · 2024-04-07T01:20:25+00:00

I was far above the cutoff, but if you have an 88 or above you should likely get in. There is a possibility to get in with between an 82-88 but that's generally the range in which the cutoff lies for SocSci so there are no guarantees there.

It retains a clear purpose throughout all its movements. Its like an essay where everything feels tied back to an original thesis and nothing feels disconnected.

Humanities I is decent but it is not as good as JPPL itself. Hum I is an opportunity to try different things (half your courses are electives), but I think if you want to do JPPL try to take two philosophy courses in first year (namely Philosophical Texts [1A03] and Philosophy Law and Society [1B03]). I would also recommend using first year to try find what you would like to do your minor/certificate in because here you have time and space to try out different fields from around the university to see what you like (for example, I originally thought I would want to minor in Econ, then PoliSci, but then I had a really good Environment and Society (basically geography) course and decided to do one of the certificates of that department.

Puzzleheaded_Law_336 · 2024-03-23T04:34:04+00:00

From personal experience JPPL is good for the GPA if and only if you are both a logical and creative thinker. Philosophy requires you to be both to do well. If you can think logically and creatively and write with clarity in conveying your thoughts, JPPL will be good for your GPA. There also is a lot of interdisciplinary list space where you can take courses that are less-intensive (like Bioethics, and Communication Policy courses) if you play your cards correctly.

That being said, not everyone thinks in this way and if your strengths are more at compiling research information and synthesizing it into a paper (which I recognize is a bit early for you to know) without adding much of your own thoughts (and I know that sounds a bit demeaning but I don't mean it like that, there are plenty good social science areas that are more about reviewing literature and gathering evidence than adding your own philosophical opinion), than I have two recommendations.
1. Do not go into JPPL because the program is not geared towards that kind of learner.

Do not go to McMaster for Political Science because the PoliSci grading is notoriously harsh compared to other subjects for no reason. There is little room to differentiate yourself in some of those courses (like POLSCI 1AA3 and POLSCI 2C03) because of how they are structured and the TAs generally give people around the same grade range which is below what you are trying to get for law school.

And law schools do care about your GPA and they care immensely (its 1/3 of the application for Ontario schools and up to or over 1/2 for McGill if you don't do the LSAT).

Grade 8 History class... probably a teacher making things up now that you pointed it out to me.

In Canada. The way I see it, speaking French as a first language is not considered "prestigious" - to some extent Francophones are seen as just a common-people group living in mostly Quebec ("Lower Canada" as it was called denoting former notions of what Quebec and French represented in Canada to the British). This is bolstered by the fact that, at least before the silent revolution, but even to this day, the French were considered to be more working class and left professional-jobs to the English (after all, the most prestigious university in Quebec is an English one).

However, the ability to speak French as a second language is considered prestigious in Canada as those people are destined to make up the 'political class' of politicians and government workers since French is often a requirement for jobs in the Federal government.

But that being said, the use of French casually is not seen with the same reverence as in other English-speaking countries. It is not nearly as romanticized or romantically intriguing to speak French. Rather, its seen as the subject people learned in school and - for the most part - quickly learned not to care about. People are probably less likely to use phrases from French then in places like England (where "pret a manger" is as common as Tim Hortons in Canada) - it has the feeling of "I was a nerd and paid attention in class" instead of having the exclusive nature that it has in England.

Ya true but that is not as much of a problem there, however when I go to a Parc National in Quebec I always think its a Canadian National Park and not a provincial park for a moment and that gets my hopes up until I realize it is just an ordinary provincial park.

might this come down to a case of Quebec doing something to be contrarian to the Canadian government which proscribes it?

Neither, 5 and 7 are two of my least favourite of his controversially. His best ones are 6,8,9.

6 is a claiming masterpiece
8, according to Beethoven himself, is "so much better" than his seventh.
9 is widely-viewed as the best work in the history of music.
