5. But they will appear as letter grades (B+, A-, A--I didn't get these results but you get the idea)

"If you study abroad on a program sponsored by a US institution, your grades will be included in the calculation; if you study abroad for a year or less and the program is not sponsored by a US institution (for example, you're enrolled at Cambridge), your grades are not included in the calculation."

Then they will be counted.

Edit: I'm gonna backpedal a bit. How did you apply to the program? How were the grades incorporated into your UG?

I applied directly to the other university's international office (i.e., they have an office that receives apps from international students). I also had to fill out some paperwork at my US UG so that my UG would pay that other university directly. The paperwork was also necessary for my UG to submit a letter of sorts to the other university. Matriculated as an official student.

This puts you firmly in the "who the fuck knows?" zone.
The fact your UG paid the seems like it would be dispositive.
It also makes me think you got fucked there, considering US tuition is usually significantly higher than at a foreign school.

Had your IG not been involved, the answer would be clear. Had they been more involved, it'd be clear. Based in this, only LSAT knows

Why would the fact that my UG paid be dispositive?

Also, my UG was involved but I'm pretty sure most if not all of the paperwork was to ensure that I understood the financial consequences of withdrawing from the abroad university after my UG had already paid. It was also to ensure that the grades are transferrable back (this should make it obvious my UG didn't run the program).

Like I said in the OP, I've called already. They said probably not, but they said they can't be sure until they receive my transcripts. Hence why I'm here asking if anyone else has done a similar thing (directly enrolled in a foreign institution). According to the Ivey site (and most other people I've spoken to who have done this), most Oxbridge programs are like this. I'm not saying I did Oxbridge (I may or may not have), but there has to be some people here who have done Oxbridge.
