  It should be on their websites but off the top of my head, I think to be competitive it would be around this:

  UBC GPA 3.7/165
  UofT: 4.0/166
  Osgoode: Holistic therefore impossible to say but still quite high...
  Dalhousie: 3.7/162 + Holistic
  UOttawa: Holistic --> My friend got in with a 3.3/163
  UofA: 3.7/161

  Fellow Canadian here
  UBC's medians are 166 and an 83% average, so 3.75(ish)!
  Generally, UBC uses an index score, so if either your GPA or LSAT is exceptionally high, the other can be pretty subpar and you can still get offered admission.

  Thanks for your replies, and good to hear from some fellow Canadians!

  I suppose I should have been a lot more specific, haha. I have a good understanding of the schools' averages from snooping around on the websites. However, I'm curious to hear individual stats, either of those who've received acceptance or those who know relative stats of friends who've made it in.
