Little pity party over here! Whoo!

GPA: 3.73

LSAT: 155

Hoping to hear before the 14th of February because I'll have to accept an expiring offer. I like where my offer is from, however I would like to be able to consider Ottawa.

[staffer]

Still waiting 3.4/165
I suspect my GPA will be a killer at Ottawa, so I'm not holding my breath.

[Abe91]

Wow, I'm so honoured to be a part of the 'still waiting 2012' group!

highest 163, cgpa 3.94

[alexamac]

Also still waiting. 3.7 GPA, 161 LSAT. I have a few other offers so far (Osgoode and Western) but I'm still kind of interested in Ottawa. It's frustrating though, from what I can tell, it's much more difficult to figure out if you're going to get in to Ottawa...

Juicebox: If you don't mind my asking, where did you get your acceptance?

Oh great we're already starting this thread? Now I'm really worried. Still waiting here, 3.5 CGPA/165. Haven't received any offers, in fact. I still have hope...

[sana12]

Still waiting as well. 3.9 CGPA/155 LSAT. I am with Alex, still have hope.

Still waiting, even though Ottawa isn't really a choice for me.

[muffins]

I'll be declining my offer this week. Hopefully that makes some room for those still waiting.

[briviere]

Withdrew my application to OttawaU's JD program today.

Good luck everyone!

[spiffykirshay]

I am still waiting as well, 3.63 and 161. I'm wondering if still having this semster left in my undergrad has something to do with it?

Anyway I will most likely be accepting my offer from U of M instead.

Hello all,

Just thought I would share that I just spoke with an admissions officer and she said that within 24 hours of a decision it will first be posted on infoweb, then a few days later you will receive a letter. She also said that everyone will know one way or another by May at the latest. *sigh* looks like we are in for the long haul for a couple more months...

[Juicebox]

Thanks for the info vanillacupcakes3!

Still waiting... thought I might get rejected right after reading week however fortunately I'm still here! *checks infoweb*

That's a big change from previous years where Ottawa has compiled ridiculous waiting lists (300+ people even though only 20-30 are admitted) and continued to update the list until the middle of August. Perhaps she meant they'll know if they're in, out, or waitlisted rather than in or out by May.

I thought that was fairly obvious. I didn't say you would know if you're in or out by May, but that you would know where you stand by May

Yep.

[CafeMocha]

Yes.

Pretty sure it goes from that straight to a rejection or acceptance. Correct me if I am wrong anyone.

That's correct, for me one day it said that, the next day it changed to an acceptance statement.
