A personal statement is required for all applicants in all categories. You can upload your personal statement as part of your online application or email to lawadmit@unb.ca.
If an applicant wishes the Admissions Committee to consider a disability, the personal statement must explain the nature of the disability in detail and provide supporting documentation including a statement of the requested accommodation, if any.
For applicants applying in the Discretionary and Indigenous categories, the statement should relate the applicant’s personal circumstances to the selection criteria in the relevant category. Only one statement is required to complete your application.
Personal statements should describe such matters as personal strengths, reasons for seeking admission, interest in law, career ambitions and special circumstances as appropriate.
Please note that we do not have a required minimum or maximum for the personal statement. Most personal statements are one-to-two pages in length.
