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:
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Love isn’t actually a feeling at all—it’s an illness, a certain condition of body and soul.... Usually it takes possession of someone without his permission, all of a sudden, against his will—just like cholera or a fever.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
