Deferred Decision

[kmon 24]

Received an email today notifying that a letter was in the student centre portal. Letter said they're deferring their decision until they receive the transcript for my current term.

OLSAS cgpa: 3.3 (not sure how L2 would be calculated for my application)

LSAT: 156

This topic comes up every year. Every year I chime in.

Deferred today

cGPA 3.36, L2 around 3.6 but will be around 3.8-3.9 depending on how they calculate after this semester, LSAT 159. Here's to hoping this works out!!

Deferred decision today on student centre

 

CGPA 3.36 L2 3.8 (when winter grades are in) LSAT 161.

After reading past deferred decision threads this is not as good as it sounds.

How good do you expect those winter grades to be? If they're As, then you'll most likely be in with those stats. Good luck.

They should be on par with the 3.8, not lowering or raising my L2 Gpa.

Deferred decision means they are waiting on your final marks before they make a decision on your application. As of right now deferred applicants are neither accepted, rejected, nor waitlisted, as they don't have the grades to make a final decision. 

[Testy 6]

Deferred on April 30th (I just couldn't bring myself to check right away).

CGPA: 3.49

L2: similar

LSAT: 159

If I get attain my expected grades for this last year, my GPAs will be around:

CGPA: 3.58

L2: 3.67

 

[souflee 18]

Was deferred back in the beginning of April.

cGPA: 3.28

L2: 3.66 (already sent final transcript in)

LSAT: 163

[Baristachamp 16]

I was deferred (posted in the wrong thread first) 

CGPA 3.55

LSAT 163 

had a few questions for anyone who knows! 
 

1. what are the chances of getting accepted after having a deferral? Is this a good thing?

2. I’m not going to get one of my final grades until May 15th, I was notified today because of the pushed deadlines associated with C19. Should I be freaking out and pushing to get them sooner? The letter Western sent made it sound like time would be a factor in the spots they have to offer to deferred students.

Just a follow up to my own post. What do you think my chances are? Not really sure what to expect with the deferred decision.

What was your L2 prior to submitting your final transcripts? If they made a deferred decision, they are clearly concerned about your final grades. If they were good, then I would say you have a very good shot given your LSAT score and L2.

For #1: your chances are decent - it really depends on your final grades and where the admissions committee ranked you. It doesn't mean you're out but it isn't a shoe in. What's your L2?

#2: Don't freak out. The delayed grades won't have any impact on their decision to admit you or not.

Before I submitted final grades my L2 was 3.45 ish. With my final grades, it is 3.66

Thanks for the reply, just don't like waiting lol, hopefully a decision will come soon.

I think you have a good shot in that case. Good luck!

Received a deferred decision on April 23! (LSAT 166 / cGPA 3.2 / previously L2 3.6). Just sent in my new transcript a few days ago and hoping they'll update me soon.

My final grades barely budge my cGPA, but my average for just the last year that they don't have turned out to be a 3.95, so I'm optimistic that they'll be happy with that.
