READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR 2025 ENTRY TO THE JD

The online OLSAS application for Fall 2025 entry into the UofT Law JD program opens on August 22nd, 2024

Naturally, at the OLSAS 2024-2025 website we expect you to take the time to read the application instructions and details, before and also while viewing, the different sections of the application form.

BEGIN with the OLSAS Application Guide, read thoroughly - DO NOT SKIM - all of the:

General Requirements with the common instructions for applicants to any Ontario law school, then onward to ...

The University Requirements for the UofT specific instructions.

At the OLSAS website, after creating an applicant account (username and password), you can access the application form.

Chances are, the answers to your questions are already in the Application Guide, OLSAS website menus and school-specific instructions. However, as you complete each section of the application, for guidance on what to submit, select the help buttons (question mark icons) that appear.

For assistance with ALL technical issues with the online application form, please contact OLSAS directly.

BEFORE submitting the OLSAS application form, please pay close attention to all of the following:

(#1) OLSAS vs CAS vs LSAC vs LSAT

OLSAS Ontario Law School Application Service This is the only application service for obtaining and completing the JD application form for any of the 8 law schools in Ontario. OLSAS collects all application materials for Ontario law schools, then provides it to them. ALL application materials must be submitted directly to OLSAS only, do NOT submit them the Ontario law schools. OLSAS is a unit within the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC).

Non-Ontario Law School Applications For non-Ontario law schools follow the application procedures specified by each non-Ontario law school.

CAS Credential Assembly Service The Credential Assembly Service is used for applying to many American law schools. CAS is not to be used in any aspect for applying to Ontario law schools. CAS is a service offered by the LSAC (Law School Admission Council).

LSAC Law School Admission Council A private American company which provides CAS. The LSAC is also the creator and administrator of the standardized LSAT (Law School Admission Test).

LSAT Law School Admission Test A standardized test designed specifically to assess the reading, comprehension and reasoning skills crucial for a legal education and the legal profession. For an OLSAS applicant, do not arrange with the LSAC for your scores. Instead, OLSAS will retrieve LSAT reports directly from LSAC and distributes them to the Ontario law schools selected on the OLSAS application form. Official LSAT tests results are equally valid, from all versions of the standard test, with no preference for the mode of testing (remote, in-person, Flex).

(#2) ALWAYS APPLY BY THE OLSAS APPLICATION DEADLINE

First year entry End of day (Toronto time) on November 1st, 2024

Upper year entry (transfers, letter of permission) End of day (Toronto time) on May 1st, 2025

We have to say it thrice: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS submit your application form and the supporting documents that you craft yourself (including personal statements, essay(s), autobiographical sketch) by the application deadline, regardless of how incomplete the remainder of the application may be.

We caution you that:

If you miss the deadline you will NOT be able to submit and/or access the online application to ANY Ontario law school.

If missed, for EACH desired Ontario law school you will need to make a formal written request for permission to apply late, that includes the reason(s) for missing the deadline.

There is NO guarantee that a late application will be permitted, so avoid that risk by applying on time.

The online form is lengthy and cannot be submitted until ALL required fields have proper responses and the application fee payment is processed.

Unfortunately, despite all warnings, candidates try to submit too close to the deadline. Far too often they miss the deadline because they fail to anticipate that there would be multiple improper/missed form responses to remedy and/or their online payment may take more than 30 minutes to process due to the high volume of submissions on deadline day.

Candidates should aim for submitting your application no later than 10 AM (Toronto time) on the deadline date, to allow time to troubleshoot any submission issues with OLSAS before it closes for the workday. Note that OLSAS is closed on weekends.

(#3) SUPPORTING DOCUMENT DEADLINES FOR UofT

Once again, ALL required application materials are to be provided to OLSAS directly.

Some of your supporting documents must arrive at OLSAS by the application deadline, while others may arrive at OLSAS shortly thereafter. Therefore there should be no reason to miss submitting the application form by the application deadline. Of course, we do not advise or recommend that you submit documents late intentionally.

For your UofT application at OLSAS there are supporting documents that:

You craft yourself and enter their text directly on the application form e.g. Personal & Contact information, Academic History, Autobiographical Sketch, Verifiers, Personal Statement, BSAP Essay, Optional Essay. YOU MUST SUBMIT THESE BY THE APPLICATION DEADLINE

You arrange with external sources for their submission of documents directly to OLSAS e.g. official transcripts, official exchange program transcripts provided directly from the host schools, WES course-by-course evaluations, NCA reports, letters of permission/letter of good standing from your law school etc. YOU MUST ARRANGE FOR THEIR SUBMISSION TO OLSAS BY THE APPLICATION DEADLINE, BUT THE DOCUMENTS MAY ARRIVE AFTER THE DEADLINE

We do NOT ask for e.g. letters of reference/recommendation, a test of English Language proficiency, non-LSAT standardized tests. DO NOT PROVIDE FOR UofT LAW, THEY WILL BE IGNORED

We will assess an applicant file after the application deadline, and only after all of the required documents have been received via OLSAS. Therefore, there is no selection advantage from submitting the application form well in advance of the deadline, just don’t miss the deadline. For supporting documents arriving after the application deadline, the sooner we receive them, the sooner we can proceed with your admission review.

(#4) LSAT DEADLINES

2025 First-Year Applications OLSAS Application deadline: evening of November 1st, 2024 Acceptable LSAT: scores from the June 2019 to January 2025 tests, inclusively.

2025 Transfer & Letter of Permission (Upper-Year) Applications OLSAS Application deadline: evening of May 1st, 2025 Acceptable LSAT: scores from the June 2019 to the April 2025 tests, inclusively. Note that, if admitted after June, course selection options will be limited.

HOW TO ARRANGE FOR YOUR LSAT RESULTS In ALL instances, you must, on the OLSAS online application form:

Provide your LSAT registration number (begins with the letter L), and also:

Indicate any future tests that you intend to take during the CURRENT admission cycle i.e. tests to be taken during September 2024 to April 2025.

At any point in time, including after you’ve submitted the application, you can return to the OLSAS application to update (add/drop/change) your intended test dates. Please update the application form with your intended test dates so that OLSAS will know whether to obtain and retrieve the scores for those tests.

TAKING THE LSAT AFTER THE OLSAS APPLICATION DEADLINE? Once again, for 2025 entry into the JD first-year, our last acceptable LSAT will be the January 2025 test. If any of the LSAT tests you intend to take occurs after the OLSAS application deadline, then return to the OLSAS application form and ADD the future test date(s).

(#5) THINKING OF A JD COMBINED PROGRAM?

You must BOTH:

apply to the JD degree at OLSAS by OLSAS deadlines, and

apply separately to the partner graduate degree by its own process and deadlines

WHAT TO SELECT ON YOUR OLSAS APPLICATION As long as you’re contemplating enrolling one of our JD/Masters or JD/PhD combined programs, then before the OLSAS application deadline, on the OLSAS application form please select BOTH:

the JD program (first year or transfer, only), and also

your desired JD combined program(s)

There is no additional cost to select combined programs at OLSAS.

CAUTION: The selection at OLSAS of the partner program, is NOT an application to the partner program. It merely serves to alert the law school of your interest in pursuing a combined program.

(#6) IS THERE A SELECTION ADVANTAGE TO SUBMITTING AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE APPLICATION DEADLINE?

None at all. We only review files for completion and selection after the application deadline. Admission decisions will not be made before the deadline. Which leads us to …

(#7) I’VE SUBMITTED MY OLSAS APPLICATION, WHEN DO I HEAR FROM UofT LAW?

Everyone who has submitted a OLSAS paid application form successfully, whether or not it is complete with all supporting documents, should receive a confirmation email from OLSAS. Information transfer from OLSAS to the Ontario law schools is never instantaneous, as it can take at least 2-4 business days, so please temper your expectations. Only after the law school receives application data from OLSAS can we begin our initial email correspondence with applicants, which is likely to begin in late-October. We will update on this blog with the start date of our email correspondence about your application.

In preparation for that email, please do the following to prevent it from going into your spam/junk folder or from being undelivered:

Add our email address today to your email address book/contact list as a safe sender This should make it easier for your emailer will recognize us when we send the initial email. Add [email protected]

As a good practice, monitor your spam/junk folder periodically for misplaced messages.

Best Regards, JD Admissions Office

Hi there!

I am an incoming 105 first-year who has applied to Psychology at UTM, and is hoping for guaranteed residence as I’ve submitted my residence application before the deadline. I’d like to switch my program to Social Science at UTSG instead, and I was told by the Faculty of ArtSci that switching admission categories was not going to be a problem.

If I am admitted to Psych, what are the chances I could request/apply for a switch or internal transfer to UTSG Social Science before starting in the fall? Would I also be allowed to switch my residence application/admission to UTSG, and could I still retain my theoretical guaranteed spot, or would it be considered a rolling admission and I may not be offered residence? I understand I can apply as an Internal transfer with OUAC in November, but I am hoping to avoid having to take my first year in a completely unrelated program, and campus.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks so much for your time and much love.

hi there,

your question has been answered.
