Applicants under all admissions categories are required to provide a valid score for the . The LSAT is a standardized test built to assess key skills that contribute to success in law school. The test is overseen by the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC). The LSAT is administered several times a year on-line, across Canada and around the world.

Please note the following policies:

• LSATs written after January 31 will not be considered for admission commencing in September of the same year.
• if an applicant take the LSAT multiple times, we will only use the highest score in their assessment.
• we only consider LSATs written within five years of when you apply.

The Schulich School of Law does not endorse any specific preparation method for the LSAT, nor is there any recommended amount of time required to prepare for the LSAT.  Because learning is highly individualized, a particular preparation material/method that works for one person is not guaranteed to work for everyone.  There are many prep resources available including books, tutors, online and in-person courses and practice tests. We recommend everyone research the various options to find one that works best for them.

Please allow at least one (1) week after the online application form has been submitted, and the application fee paid, for the portal to initially be updated.  It may take one (1) week after receipt of supporting documents by the university for them to be processed and reflected on the online application portal.

The purpose of your personal statement is to offer the admissions committee a comprehensive view of what makes you a distinctive and unique law school candidate. This may include, but is not limited to, your motivations for pursuing a legal education, unique skills, abilities, or perspectives you bring to the classroom and legal community, and any experiences that have shaped your outlook on the legal profession and your unique way of looking at the world.

On the application, we ask specific questions designed to allow applicants to provide context where appropriate on matters such as application categories and context for academic performance.  We encourage you to make use of the opportunities these questions provide and not repeat this information within your personal statement.  This approach will help you avoid redundancy and ensure that your statement remains focused on providing a deeper insight into your individual qualities and experiences.

Formatting guidelines: Please submit your personal statement using a dyslexia-friendly, sans serif font, such as Arial or Verdana.

Maximum word count: 1000 words.

Applicants to the JD program are required to submit two (2) references in support of their application.

Candidates who are currently attending university or who have graduated within the last two years are required to submit at least one (1) academic reference.  An academic reference should be from someone who knows the applicant well and is familiar with their academic performance (i.e. a professor, TA or advisor).

• If an applicant is unable to secure an academic reference when one is required, they may provide two appropriate non-academic references.  They are asked to provide a reason via the application or email as to why the committee will not be provided with the required academic reference.

In all other cases, as with those who have graduated more than three years ago both references can be non-academic in nature (i.e. professional, employment, or volunteer references).  Non-academic references should be submitted by people familiar with the applicant鈥檚 non-academic contributions and achievements.

How to submit

The Schulich School of Law requires references to be submitted directly from the referee, either via the application platform or, in extenuating circumstances, via email.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 application platform will prompt applicants for the contact information of the referee, including a professional email address, and will send an e-reference request upon submission of the application.  Referees will be asked to complete a web form with the option to attach a reference letter.

In the case where a referee is unable to use the e-reference system, an applicant may reach out to the JD admissions office to discuss alternative submission options.

Applicants who wish to carry forward references from a previous JD application will have the opportunity to indicate so on the online application.  Please note, in these circumstances, it is suggested that the applicant contacts the JD admissions office to ensure that we have the reference on file.

Please note: Applicants may update listed referees after an application is submitted via the application portal鈥檚 upon the application status page.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring the references are submitted by the required deadline.

We require one (1) official transcript from all post-secondary institutions that applicants have attended, including colleges and institutions attended for an exchange program, transfer credit or letter of permission from their home institution, regardless if the grades appear on the transcript of their home institution.

• Please note that if an applicant fails to provide transcripts for all institutions, or does not reflect attending all institutions in their online application, the Admissions Office will not assess the file.
  

Official transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing institution.  We accept official electronic transcripts from the issuing institution, or the electronic transcript service approved by the issuing institution.  Electronic transcripts can be sent to admissions.documents@dal.ca.  Any official transcripts received by mail, courier or fax in the JD admissions office will still be accepted and attached to the appropriate application.

• Please note that 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 and King鈥檚 College transcripts will be attached to an application automatically by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Registrar鈥檚 Office.

Updated transcripts are welcomed as long as they are received prior to the supporting documents deadline outlined below. 

• Please note that we do not require final transcripts showing winter term grades from the year an applicant is applying as these grades will not be used in their assessment.

If an applicant has attended a post-secondary degree granting institution outside of North America, we require them to submit your transcripts via the World Education Service (WES) at .

• Please note that WES.org has multiple services.  The "course-by-course evalulation" is required to translate the courses and their marks from a transcript into a North American grading scheme

Applicants who have completed an international exchange as part of their Canadian or United States degree program must submit official transcripts for all courses taken at all international institutions.

In order for us to include the grades from exchanges in GPA calculations, official exchange transcripts must be submitted via .  Alternatively, the international institution may send the official transcript directly to us, at the applicant鈥檚 request, in which case exchange grades will not be included in GPA calculations.  Because we understand that the cost of utilizing WES鈥檚 services for a single semester may be prohibitive, we leave the option of including grades from exchanges to the applicant鈥檚 discretion.

There is an exception to this policy as outlined below.

• Please note that WES.org has multiple services.  The "course-by-course evaluation" is required to translate the courses and their marks from your transcript into a North American grading scheme.

Exception: If an applicant attended an exchange institution outside of North America and the letter or numerical grades are included on the home institution鈥檚 transcript, an applicant does not need to submit the exchange transcript via WES.org for the exchange grades to be included in the GPA calculations.  We still require a transcript from the exchange institution.

Candidates will be asked to upload a detailed resume highlighting their work, volunteer and community involvement. 

Medical documents may be used in support of a diagnosis or underlying condition that may have affected your academic performance or life experiences.

Applicants may have a medical professional complete a  or provide a statement on their official letterhead. Other official medical documents, such as accommodation letters and assessments, are also accepted.

Because the LSAT has a built-in English comprehension component, JD Admissions does not require international applicants to take any other English language test.
