Every figure was read from the school's own admissions or class-profile page on October 27, 2026, and is quoted in the school's terms — median where the school says median, average where it says average. We did not find a published LSAT figure on the admissions pages we read for Lakehead or Toronto Metropolitan University. Schools update these pages each cycle; check the linked source before you apply.
Why Canadian LSAT Numbers Are Hard to Compare
In the US, every ABA-accredited school publishes the same 509 disclosure with the same 25th, median and 75th-percentile LSAT and GPA. Canada has no equivalent, so each school chooses what to publish and how:
- Median versus average. Toronto, UBC and Western publish medians; Calgary, Alberta, McGill, Queen's, Manitoba, UNB and Thompson Rivers publish averages; TRU publishes both (159 average, 160 median). A median and an average from different schools are not directly comparable.
- Different GPA scales. Toronto and Western use the OLSAS 4.0 conversion, UBC reports a percentage, UNB a 4.3 scale, Thompson Rivers a 4.33 scale and Manitoba a 4.5 scale. Many schools also use only your best or most recent years — Toronto the best three, Queen's the top two, Alberta the most recent 60 credits.
- Thresholds instead of statistics. Ottawa, Osgoode and Saskatchewan describe what they look for or what is competitive rather than what the admitted class actually scored.
- Part of the class, not all of it. Alberta's and Manitoba's figures cover their main admission category, UNB's its regular category, and McGill's LSAT average only the entrants who chose to submit a score.
- Some publish nothing. UVic says so explicitly; Windsor assesses on several factors without publishing a median.
How the Schools Group
Mid-to-high 160s: Toronto (168 median), UBC (168 median) and Calgary (166 average) are the most LSAT-selective schools that publish a figure. Toronto's own profile places 168 at the 94th percentile. McGill's 165 average sits just below, but it covers only entrants who chose to submit an LSAT.
Low-to-mid 160s: Western (164 median), Alberta (164 average), Queen's (161 average) and Manitoba (161 average). Osgoode's stated 85th-percentile benchmark sits in this range.
Around 158–160: Thompson Rivers (159 average, 160 median), UNB (159 average), Saskatchewan (159 competitive) and Ottawa (158 or higher).
No published figure: UVic, Windsor and Dalhousie. At these schools your GPA, personal statement and experience carry more of the decision that a published LSAT median would otherwise anchor.

AdmitBase's free law calculator scores your LSAT and GPA against every ABA-accredited US school's 2025 admitted class — useful if you are weighing US schools alongside Canadian ones.

Several Canadian schools treat the January LSAT as the last score for September entry: UVic and Windsor say so explicitly, and UNB requires applicants for the coming cycle to sit the test no later than February 2027. Schools that admit on a rolling basis, such as Calgary, also make some decisions before every file is read, so an earlier score helps beyond meeting the deadline.
