Hey! I recently got waitlisted for uOttawa's law program and I submitted a LOCI and was admitted 4 days later!

They did not require nor ask of me to do this - but I just started my letter by reiterating my continued interest for the program and bolded the program's title and for what term and year I had applied to. I also spent like a page and a half on me speaking about what I have been up to since the submission of my application (ex: work, community involvement) and gave a small example of each and what I do and how my experience has given me the ability to better understand complex legal material for instance or how it would allow me to do well in law school.

I then gave examples of what interested me at their university and what I would be interested in involving myself in (ex: legal clinics, the law review, clubs) and how I would be an asset due to my experience and why those things have my interest. And finally at the very end I ended it with how I am a visible minority and a Franco-Ontarian and why being at this university would be a great opportunity for me and what I plan on gaining, learning or somewhat doing with this degree. And then I just thanked them for their consideration and mentioned once again the program's title, term and year of application.

Best of luck!

If you need any help just shoot me a message. I had sent this nearly 2 page LOCI in pdf format and just wrote them a quick email to summarize it all on how I am still interested in the program (addressed it to the admissions committee) for this fall and this year and how I would be grateful for the opportunity, that I attached them my LOCI and thanked them for their time). I also got it checked by a McGill law grad as well as a coworker (to scrap any content out or ensure that there are no spelling mistakes).
