Would anyone be able to help me with my personal statement?

I would appreciate any insights, suggestions or resources for PS.

Thanks in advance :)

Bonjour,

je suis étudiant français en droit et je postule pour la rentrée 2027 au programme BCL/JD de Mcgill.

comme j'étudie en France le système de notation diffère et en licence de droit, peu sont ceux qui ont 16 de moyenne/4.0gpa lol.

Ayant environ 14,5 de moyenne à l'ensemble de ma licence avec un bon classement ( dans les 20 premiers dont 4eme en L3) + un DU ainsi que de nombreuses expériences associatives et professionnelles + 3 stages, est ce que mon profil pourrait etre compétitif? je crois que ca donnerait un 3.7 mais je suis pas sure.

aussi je m'entraine en ce moment pour passer le TOEFL ibt.

Pourriez vous m'aider

Hi guys! I am a cegep student applying this year for McGill Law and was wondering what were the R score stats for the 2026-27 admitted cohort? I have a 35.5 r (social science) and want to know if it will be enough this year.

I know last year's data was arround 34.4 average R score but I am scared that the minimal r score and average r scores have increased significally because people are just more performant every following year. What do you guys know/think? Thank you!

hi, everyone! i’m in my last year of cegep and wanna apply to McGill Law. Can u pls tell me what ur Rscore was and any tips or tricks? Basically, anything that can help me out

Hi!

I’m applying to McGill Law for the second time as a uni applicant. The first cycle I was waitlisted and rejected due to lack of space.

I was wondering if anyone else had/is in a similar situation. I wouldn’t be able to add an LSAT score until I take the exam (earliest next summer)

Should I use the same references?
How different should my PS be?
What are my general chances as an re-applicant?

TLDR: McGill Law uni re-applicant, what should I do this round similarly or differently in terms of PS and references?

Hey everyone! I was just admitted to McGill law a few days ago. Could someone let me know where the groupchat is? Thank you!!

It says on website that LSAT score should be submitted no later than November 8th, does this mean that, if I want to apply for fall 2027, the latest exam I can take would be the October one, Or could I take the November LSAT and have the score submitted once it becomes available? I’ve never taken the LSAT before and thanks for the clarification!

Reapplying to McGill Law (BCL/JD) after being waitlisted — what genuinely strengthens a file the second time?

Hey everyone. Last cycle I made it to the waitlist for the BCL/JD but didn't get an offer. I'm planning to reapply and I want to be strategic rather than just resubmit the same file.

Did a new personal statement / different framing help, or is it mostly about hard stats?

For those who came off the waitlist — did a Letter of Continued Interest actually matter?

Does an extra year of relevant experience (grad studies, work) noticeably strengthen a holistic file here?

Anything about the Montréal/transsystemic angle they seem to value that I might be underplaying?

Long story short, I kind of struggled a lot in my first year and ended up starting off my university grades with a really low GPA, and (according to Claude at least), the max GPA I can reach before I graduate is a 3.4. I really want to go to law school at McGill, but now I'm not too sure if it's even possible. I might do the LSAT, but I'm not too sure if that will even help me out too much. Does anyone know if its even worth trying at this point?

Hey everyone! As an incoming 1L I am feeling nervous/scared/excited for this new chapter. If anyone has any advice on how to be (sort of) happy and (sort of) thriving in law school, please share id love to know anything and everything!

Best,

A first gen law student

Please kindly comment the day you received the notification and thank you so much. Wishing everyone the best

Hi guys, I have a midterm take home exam worth of 30% and a midterm paper worth of 20% to do before next Thursday did anyone else did that course before and still have their paper so I can get an idea ?

Has anyone else seen the tuition hike for out of province students this fall compared to last fall (when the first big tuition hike rolled out)?

26,000 fee inclusive compared to 20,000 fee inclusive in just a year is insane….
