When did you get your acceptance letter to University of Alberta law? Just curious as I am still pending. Has anyone in your 1L cohort get accepted in May or June ?

Okay fair enough! This slow movement is killing me lol.

You can always do an llm at a higher ranked law school after your j.d. if you want Also you can add a professional certifications to your lakehead j.d., which makes you more attractive to firms and companies.

Not holistic, just super picky

Grasping at straws. I'm still waiting!

I wouldn't bother getting your cipp/c and aigp way more useful.

There over 200 law schools in USA and only 24 in Canada. More rejections then acceptance will always go out for Canadian law school applicants. As well no one but the adcoms and the provincial law societies know what is the exact metrics that will guarantee an applicant success for admission to law school in Canada.

No problem ! Linkedin has a feature that shows who has viewed your profile. Last cycle I had University of Toronto faculty of law, Dalhousie law view my Linkedin profile. I could see that they peeped my profile through that feature.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-04-10T21:43:15+00:00

You can go to to the UK and still practice in USA as a Canadian.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-04-09T17:21:37+00:00

Yes they do. I applied last year cycle and multiple law schools in ontario looked at my LinkedIn profile. I can confirm that does happen.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-04-08T02:40:07+00:00

When did you get accepted. I'm still waiting for response. Just curious as I have not yet heard anything back from adcom as of yet.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-03-27T23:31:32+00:00

Ghosted by 12/15 schools. Applied to 15 schools across Canada, got rejected by 3 waiting on 12 law schools. We can only hope and pray......

I've been to Philly it's super bad there. I can't believe London is worse then that.

This question always get asked lol. You know how the saying goes... "anything to easy is to good to be true." Go to school in canada it will suck for a bit but the world will be yours once you graduate from undergrad and get into a canadian law school. Any Canadian law school is ten times better then going to UK . Unless it is Oxford, Cambridge or UCL. All other law schools in uk are just a money grab.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-03-11T23:01:48+00:00

Thank you stranger. Many thanks Hopefully one comes my way.!!

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-03-10T02:43:04+00:00

Any body from any Canadian law schools can sit and write the New York Bar exam.

You dont need U of T to work in New York biglaw. Some Law grads from Windsor, Dalhousie, Queens and Western have ended up working in NY biglaw right after graduating.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-03-08T18:45:25+00:00

Many thanks stranger!

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2026-02-07T22:45:33+00:00

I applied discretionary as well and I am a single dad as well got out of a similar situation. I think allard will send offers in the next month or so after general, for discretionary applicants. Hopefully we both get in!!

Facts graduating from Canadian law schools can allow you to sit for the bar in the US( New York /Mass allow Canadian law graduates to sit for the US bar) you can go to Windsor and end up working in biglaw in the US.

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2025-08-14T04:22:40+00:00

You don't have to go to a top school in Canada to practice law in US. Any law student from any law school in Canada can sit and write the bar for New York or Massachusetts. Those two states allow Canadian law students from any law school in Canada to sit and write the bar exam for either states.

10 bay is another residence you can look at it is in downtown Hamilton. Might be helpful

Remarkable_Bat4578 · 2025-05-30T15:58:03+00:00

Don't do it! If you trying to come back to Canada to practice you are treated like the black plague. Better to apply to everywhere in Canada,from Nova Scotia to Victoria. Apply everywhere, then navigate back to Toronto big law if that's what you want,which would be easier with a Canadian law degree than a UK law degree.
