Windsor Law currently has a General and Indigenous category. Through the holistic admissions process, it allows us to review all aspects of an application file, through our seven factors, to address a variety of applicant perspectives to achieve a diverse incoming class.
Windsor Law’s Admission Committee considers seven different criteria when assessing an applicant’s file. The LSAT score and Grade Point Average are each only one of the seven criteria. We emphasize that no one single factor is solely determinative of admission to the law school. The Admissions Committee assesses applications in light of all seven criteria categories. The chief source of information about applicants is that which is provided by them in their Personal Profile. Applicants should take care to present a full and rounded view of themselves in their Personal Profile.
We do not have a specific LSAT or recommended GPA due to the holistic nature of our admissions process. We believe applicants can demonstrate that they are more than quantitative scores.
We receive approximately over 2000 applications each year and approximately 165 students are accepted into the J.D. program at Windsor Law.
We receive approximately 700 applications for the Canadian & American Dual J.D. program each year and approximately 85 students are accepted into the Canadian & American Dual J.D. program at the University of Windsor Law School.
For the single JD programs: The latest LSAT score accepted is the January test score of the year of application.
For the Dual JD program: The latest LSAT accepted is the March sitting of the year of application.
Admissions occur on a rolling basis. We appreciate the time and effort applicants take to submit a fulsome package. As such, the admissions committee are doing their due diligence in conducting a meticulous review of each applicant package and appreciate your patience through the process. Due to rolling admissions you may expect a response to your application to law school between February and August.
-
Can I find out my position on the waitlist? Are students ranked on the waitlist?
Due to the fluidity of the admissions cycle, we do not provide information about your status on our waitlist. 英雄联盟竞猜平台直播 will be notified immediately should changes to their admissions status change.
-
Are students removed from the waitlist without requesting it?
Once our incoming class is confirmed, students will be removed from the waitlist and changes to their admission status will be updated accordingly.
-
When is the latest an admission offer will be made?
英雄联盟竞猜平台直播 could potentially receive an offer of admission up until the first day of our mandatory academic orientation, should there still be space available in the incoming class.
Up-to-date tuition fee information is available at uwindsor.ca/finance/fee-estimator . At Windsor Law, we recognize the financial challenges that many students face when pursuing a legal education. Fifty percent of our students receive funding in addition to provincial student loans. In 2019, we awarded a total of $3 million in bursaries.
