Mister T is going to law school

[Mister T]

Well boys and girls it's official, Mister T is going to law school. I just got my first letter of acceptance (from the University of Alberta). So at least I'll be within 4 hours of Calgary. Now to see if the University if Calgary gets back to me. Here's an artist's rendition of Mister T after graduation.

Take Law at UofA rather than UofC from what I've heard. I don't believe the programs are viewed the same amongst firms in Western Canada.

Congrats!

^^^ What he said. This is true with a lot of courses, not just law.

Re: Mister T is going to law school

Agreed, I've heard that U of A has a pretty good reputation. I could live with being in Edmonton. The thing with U of C is that most of my friends and family are in Calgary. Along with things like family doctors, facilities to work on my cars, Wing Chun etc... So we'll have to see how it plays out. Still, it's nice to know I'll never have to write another LSAT exam.

Re: Mister T is going to law school

Re: Mister T is going to law school

Thanks man, by the way how did your RPAT's go? If memory serves, you were supposed to write them in January.

Re: Mister T is going to law school

Yeah man I wrote on the 16th, and got notice that I passed and will be moving onto the next phase of recruiting...just playing the waiting game as the olympics have slowed things way down.

Re: Mister T is going to law school

The only snag with UofA is their massive deficit. They are now imposing a $570/year fee for every student in order to help pay off their 59million dollar deficit.

You would have thought a Uni with a fairly well respected Business school, would have a rough clue how to manage a university.

Re: Mister T is going to law school

Re: Mister T is going to law school

D-BOMB: Congratulations man, it must be nice to have that out of the way. Make sure to let us all know when they give you the official go-ahead.

bonfire: It seems like I'm boned on the tuition no matter which school (UofC or UofA) I go to. The UofC had just implemented their differential tuition which raises the fees substantially for law programs.

mDmVR6: If I did get into UBC, I won't hear from them until June. I ended up changing my application status to mature student status. I spoke to the head of the advisory commitee while I was in Vancouver last week and she said that my 155 on the LSAT would put me out of the running in the regular category. However, In light of my other experience I stand a chance as a mature student.
