College Nursing Degree
Hey guys! I finished my nursing degree at a college but have always been interested in law since high school. I've done quite well in my career but I've become disillusioned with how the system treats marginalized folks. My original desire for law has resurfaced and I feel that I owe it to myself to at least give this a shot. However, I feel like I have a lot of uncertainty given that my undergrad program is non-trad and I've seen a lot of pessimism from the community regarding college degrees.
I know that some universities look down on college bachelors and won't allow them to be accepted. I originally chose a college program since they are significantly more reputable than the university nursing programs in my area, which are sometimes only 2 years long. I have a full 4 year bachelor's credential completed in 3 years (I didn't have a choice this is how the program is structured) and a lot of people from my program have gone on to complete graduate education. I'm aware that college bachelors are not eligible for Western and Osgoode. I was otherwise planning on applying broadly in BC and ON, both of which I have supports in.
Does anyone know how the bigger schools like UBC, UVic, UofT, UOttawa and Queens see college bachelors? I feel like I would be more than ecstatic if I even got my application reviewed at any of those schools lol. Is it even possible to get in ANYWHERE with a college degree?
For more context, my UBC GPA is 86% and my LSAT score is 170. I don't know what my OLSAS GPA would be since my school isn't listed in the conversion table, but my graduating cGPA was 3.98/4.33. I also completed a post-grad cert which I know schools don't look at for GPA. Off the top of my head, I have some academic research experience, a few years of hospital nursing experience and have done various different medical volunteering activities. I do not have enough work experience to quality as a mature applicant anywhere.
