After submitting the application, candidates can log into the , where they can monitor the status of their application. As the supporting documents are received and recorded, candidates should consult the admissions checklist to see which documents (if any) are missing, incomplete, or illegible. Candidates should consult the鈥�admissions checklist鈥痳egularly as new items might be requested to complete their file. It is important to respond to requests for further documentation in a timely manner.听

Candidates are responsible for monitoring the status of their application on the Applicant Portal.听

A status of "Provide supporting documents" means that the application is incomplete.鈥�If the application remains incomplete after the deadline for submission of supporting documents, the application will be cancelled.鈥�We will not cancel applications that are missing only LSAT scores after the deadline. Candidates who plan on writing the LSAT will have an application status of "Items outstanding" until we receive their score, after which their file will be reviewed.听

An "In Review" status means that a candidate鈥檚 file is complete and/or under review. The "In Review" status will remain until a final decision is rendered.听

During peak periods (i.e., close to the deadlines), we receive a high volume of documents. At those times, there may be a delay of up to 48 hours between when a document is received and when it is verified on the Applicant Portal. Taking this delay into consideration, candidates should only contact the BCL/JD 苹果淫院 Office鈥�if their file remains incomplete 48 hours past the deadline.听

Applicants must upload鈥�supporting documents鈥痸ia the Applicant Portal after completing and submitting the online application.听

Please see the instructions for鈥�uploading supporting documents on the Applying to 苹果淫院 website.听

Once an application is complete, it is reviewed. Reviewers evaluate files according to the Faculty's鈥�苹果淫院 Policy, in comparison to other candidates in the applicant pool.听

Applicants receive an email when a decision has been rendered. Final decisions are available in the Applicant Portal. Decisions are never disclosed over the phone.听

Every effort is made to inform candidates of the decision as soon as possible. However, the review process is鈥痩abour-intensive and may extend鈥痠nto June. Final decisions on waitlisted applicants may be made until the end of August. The following are the possible decisions that can rendered on an application.

Admit

Candidates who are offered admission are given a deadline (see鈥�Accept our Offer) by which they must accept or decline our offer. This deadline is indicated in our letter of admission. If we have not received a response by the indicated deadline, our offer of admission will be withdrawn.听

Official acceptance letters will be available in the Applicant Portal only. Since the Faculty of Law does not mail acceptance letters, candidates are invited to print their letter for their records. International candidates should print multiple copies for their immigration process.听

Waitlist

A candidate may be offered a place on the waitlist if the application is considered admissible but there are no available places in the cohort at that time. Waitlisted files are not ranked. Waitlisted applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a Letter of Continued Interest to study at 苹果淫院 Law. Every effort is made to inform candidates of the decision of the 苹果淫院 Committee at the earliest possible date. Final decisions about applicants who have been placed on the waitlist may be made until the end of August.听

The official waitlist letter will be available in the Applicant Portal.听

Interview

Candidates in the鈥�CEGEP鈥痗ategory whose applications are regarded as potentially admissible will be invited to an interview.听

Candidates in the鈥�Mature鈥痗ategory whose applications are regarded as potentially admissible may be invited to an interview.听

Candidates in the optional category for Indigenous applicants may be invited to an interview if the Indigenous 苹果淫院 Advisory Panel determines that an interview would be helpful in assessing an applicant鈥檚 candidacy.听

In some instances, the 苹果淫院 Committee may also request that applicants in other categories attend an interview.听

See the 鈥淗ow we make admissions decisions鈥� section of our鈥�苹果淫院 Policy鈥痜or more information on the interview process.听

Refuse

Due to the limited enrollment of the BCL/JD program and the high number of competitive applications received each year, approximately 85% of all candidates are refused. We understand candidates' disappointment at being refused admission. We invite them to view or attend our鈥�Re-Applicant Workshop鈥痶o better understand the reasons that could have led to a rejection.听Please note that the Faculty of Law does not provide individual feedback to refused candidates.

All decisions are final. Refused files will not be reviewed anew at the request of a refused candidate.听
