      Replying to this...  1) Try and step back from the forums and emails. you'll go mad - this was me last year and I was sick to my stomach.  2) Acceptances in August are common across Canada, not just NB. I was waitlisted at TRU and got accepted Aug 6th. Others were Aug 11th and Aug 30th.... If there's seats, they'll fill them.  3)Take a breather this summer, schedule a September or October LSAT write if you want, but honestly just try to enjoy your summer. After I was sick to my stomach in June from waiting I made the most of my July and Im grateful because I got in Aug 6th and it was NON stop until I left at the end of August. Coordinating a move, housing, and funding in 2.5 weeks sucked but I got into law school and was going after my dream. Thats all that mattered.  Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

      from uottawa.  1L: average B+ (one C on transcript)  2L: average B+ (one C on transcript).  what is the chance for a big firm at this stage? 
    • lovehotbagel
      i just received my grades, one of the classes received a C!! The rest of term grades are A- or B+ or B.    Anyone who appealed before and received a successful result? Could you please share your experience? Thanks

      I did not have any connection to NB. It can be stressful figuring things out last minute, but it is definitely do-able. I would recommend while you wait to begin thinking about how to improve your application for next year, that way if you are not successful you are already on your way to preparing for next years round of applications. Retake the LSAT, edit your personal statement, volunteer, improve your resume, etc., make sure you are not just re-applying but making improvements on your application if law school is something that you really want to pursue. I was not accepted the first year I applied.

      Gives me so much hope, thanks for your response !! Did you have a NB connection? I'm just wondering if acceptances sent out in August are exclusive to NB residents since it's so close to the start of the semester
    • LittyGator
      I know multiple people who were accepted during August last year (myself included!) so I would not assume that you have been rejected. I would try to limit how often you are checking to give you some peace of mind (ex: checking every second day) and I agree that you should try not to focus on what others are saying/who else is being accepted. As far as being accepted later goes (if you are someone that is accepted late)... ask some of the upper year students through Facebook groups to help you secure housing if this is something you are worried about. Most of the other students are willing to help you if they can. Also just know that there are alot of great applicants and being accepted later is no indication of how well you will do in law school or in practice.  Best of luck!
