63% night owls, 37% early risers: A profile of the 2015 1L class

Here’s a snapshot of the newest cohort of law students: who they are, where and what they studied, what they’re interested in, and much more. Incoming students voluntarily answer a range of questions, primarily to help the Faculty of Law match them with upper years for our Peer Mentorship Program. But we also like to have a little fun with our survey, and find out who the night owls are, or what they did before coming to law school.

It’s the third year we’ve run a questionnaire to get a better picture of our 1Ls, as we strive to closely monitor the diversity of our class and keep the numbers moving in the right direction each year. View this page for more detailed admissions data.

This infographic can be found in our JD Admissions Guide 2016–2017 to help recruit the best and brightest students for the next year. We’re proud of the diversity—in all its forms—of our incoming first years, and we wanted to share these stats with you.
