I don't know if it's the same this year, but way back in 2018 we had a March 31 deadline for accepting offers. So I would expect more movement on the waitlist after that date, as the Faculty gets a better sense of how many of their offers have been accepted.

If I had to guess, it's more about securing students who might otherwise be a Bay Street flight risk.

UCalgary vs UAlberta [Quality of Life]
Pantalaimon replied to DanaeOkay's topic in School Comparisons
I think "probably" is a stretch. There are certainly a few that are affected by chinooks to the point of headaches. Out of everyone I know, only one gets migraines from it, and even that's inconsistent. It's just one of those "everyone knows someone" Kevin Bacon things. -
I don't think UOttawa actually "curves", they just require a B+ class average (not median).

When do Fall exam results get posted?
Pantalaimon replied to lawyer4lyfe's topic in University of Calgary
In Fall 2018 we received our 1L grades on January 18th (1Ls get them by email since they're, other than Legislation, midterm grades). In Fall 2019 upper year grades were posted on the student centre on January 15th (we receive an email when they go up). So I'd expect late next week or early the week after. Law might be on a different schedule than what NeverTooLate posted. If you check on the current JD students sharepoint, January 7th (final grades) and January 8th (midterm grades for 1Ls) are listed as the deadlines for faculty, and the grading committee meets January 12th to review them. -
Upgrading GPA as a Mature Student

Can't edit for some reason, but it doesn't actually look like you have to be a full time student. Go figure! -
Upgrading GPA as a Mature Student
Pantalaimon replied to PlayALawyerOnTV's topic in General Discussion
Not sure what schools you're looking at (I thought most Ontario schools are cGPA?), but UofC and UofA will take open studies / "out of degree" as long as you're registered full time. UofA FAQ UofC FAQ (PDF) -
Oh no, I've reached the age 0Ls use when they throw out a number for "old enough to have a midlife crisis"...

Pantalaimon replied to seabisque's topic in University of Toronto
Wait, UofT calls people? Why not just send a fax and carrier pigeon? -
Watch out for dissent-first judgments too 🤦♂️

That was my concern with optional P/F. For reasons extensively discussed, those without jobs are more or less 'forced' to take grades down to B- to avoid the negative inference from employers. Whereas those that have already secured jobs don't have that disadvantage and can freely P things to inflate the GPA for other things such as Dean's List, medals or scholarships. Optional P/F magnified the inequities between those that already struck gold in the recruit and the rest.
