The Admissions Committee uses a holistic approach to applications that takes into account a number of factors in addition to grades and the LSAT results. Queen’s Faculty of Law endorses the goal that the geographic, ethnic, cultural, racial and socio-economic diversity of the Canadian population should be reflected in the ranks of those granted access to legal education. All applicants must have successfully completed a minimum of three full years of course work in a degree program at a postsecondary institution that provides an academic environment and education that prepares students for potential success in advanced study at Queen’s. All applicants are required to take the LSAT.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your application materials and supporting documents are complete. Applications that are incomplete will not be considered. The application is due to OLSAS by November 1. Please provide the following documentation in support of your application to first-year studies:
-official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions attended, including those attended as a visiting student on exchange or on a study abroad program;
-official LSAT score(s);
-a personal statement (see below);
-confidential letters of reference (see below);
-supplementary documentation to support the basis of the claim in the Aboriginal and Access categories, as necessary.
