Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
I searched the Yahoo transferapps database but couldn't find any data on transfers from Phoenix School of Law to ASU.
I have been admitted to Phoenix School of Law but absolutely am DYING to attend ASU but I don't think it is going to happen for me since I haven't heard anything back from them since my application went complete in November (3.65, 158)
Is transferring from Phoenix School of Law to ASU possible assuming I do well in my first year (top 5% good)? I am going to practice law in Phoenix so that is why I want to stay here. Besides, the other schools I have gotten into seem super regional.

+1. Those numbers are too good for you to not be considering other options.neskerdoo wrote:you should decline that offer of admission

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
Your numbers look good when compared to ASU's medians. Follow-up with the admissions office ... let them know how much you want to attend. Under no circumstance would I advise you to attend Phoenix School of Law ... even if it means waiting another year, and re-apllying, then just do it!

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
Okay so Phoenix -> ASU probably not the best option.
I will definitely continue to contact the admissions office at ASU to indicate my interest. But, if worse comes to worse, and ASU says no (praying that they don't), what about the following transfer scenarios:
McGeorge -> ASU
Chapman -> ASU
Buffalo -> ASU
Indiana-Indy -> ASU

Don't go to any school banking on a transfer. You have to be happy graduating at the school you attend.

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
OP: I live in the valley, and I was in a similar situation to yours just a few months ago. (similar LSAT and GPA, and shooting for ASU)
I studied my arse off for the December LSAT and did considerably better. ASU is now the lowest-ranked school that I applied to, and with any luck, I'll be attending a t25.
Moral of the story: with a solid GPA, you shouldn't even be considering PSoL.
retake, retake, retake

I am on the fence about taking the LSAT again because I have already taken it twice (142 -> 158). I don't know how much better I could do on the LSAT if taken a third time and I am a little uneasy about taking another year off.
If ASU rejects me, retaking is definitely an option, but it is the option I will consider last.

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
That is encouraging and it seems like the consensus that ASU just takes awhile on people's applications. Just from LSN, it looks like all the admits have been well above ASU's medians. I don't know if that means anything, but it gives me some solace.ubermensch wrote:BTW, I haven't heard anything from ASU since my complete email, so don't lose hope.
Anyways, good luck on ASU and all your other apps.

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
I am actually doing just that.. I got rejected from ASU, Ouch... my numbers are 157 3.2 and I am graduating from ASU in May.... I have no other option but to stay in AZ so I have decided to attend Phoenix.. I dont want to take a year off and I think im just going to take my chances and try to transfer after a year. When I went on a tour at Phoenix the admissions rep. told me that starting next year they are planning on offering additional scholarships to the students in like the top 15 or so of the class because they have had a problem of them transfering out to the "other big arizona state schools"... So good luck!! Hopefully you can get in the first time around...

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
Hey guys, thought I would chime in on this...
I am a 2L at ASU, transferred after my first year. During my transfer orientation there were about 10-15 transferring/visiting students. Of those I think maybe 2 or 3 were from Phoenix School of Law. I am not sure of the percentages of Phoenix laws transfer apps to acceptances, but I guess you have a shot if you work hard.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you transfer from and what position were you at in your class when you transferred into ASU?

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
Something else to be aware of is class ranking. If I am understanding ASU's page correctly, if you transfer, you won't be eligible to be ranked in your graduating class.
Unless an ASU student can correct me on that? (I would love if you could, since I would also love to consider transferring as an option.)

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
Wow, that's an old thread. Does anyone ever wonder what happens to all of these people asking about going somewhere just to transfer?

FWIW, not that it's a recommended course of action, but OP was actually able to transfer from Phoenix to Arizona St., with not even that great of grades IIRC.

Re: Transfering from Phoenix School of Law to ASU
please please please please please do not go to Phoenix School of Law. These law schools should not exist and are considered a joke in the legal community. ASU is not much better either, but atleast it is on the lower end of mediocre. Just please retake the LSAT and reapply. Do not give a dime for the shithole that is Phoenix Law School.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
