Admission and Student Body
About 105 students are enrolled each year. The LSAT is required for admission to the school. The median LSAT score of those admitted in recent years has been at the 89th percentile. In other words, the mean LSAT score of those admitted in recent years has ranged between 162 and 164. The mean undergraduate GPA of those admitted has ranged from 3.82 to 3.90, as measured on the standard North American 4-point system. 55% of the students are women, and 29% are visible minorities.
Additionally, the UVic Law School was also behind the first run of the Akitsiraq Law School, the only law school program to operate in Nunavut. The program involved University of Victoria professors spending rotating semesters in Iqaluit to teach a full curriculum of law school classes. The first run of the program graduated 11 Inuit lawyers in 2005, significantly increasing the number of lawyers in Nunavut.

Famous quotes containing the words admission, student and/or body:
“A completely indifferent attitude toward clothes in women seems to me to be an admission of inferiority, of perverseness, or of a lack of realization of her place in the world as a woman. Or—what is even more hopeless and pathetic—it’s an admission that she has given up, that she is beaten, and refuses longer to stand up to the world.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Dogberry. Are you good men and true?
Verges. Yea, or else it were pity but they should suffer salvation, body and soul.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
