Do some schools really convert $$$$$ when you tranfer
Someone told me that some schools convert your merit scholarship to a loan if you transfer after your first year. So if I have a full ride at law school x, and decide to transfer to Harvard after my 1L, that full ride for 1L is turned into a loan that I have to pay back to the school. Is this true?

I remember hearing about some CA shitheap doing this, but I think most schools do not. Check with the school.

Thomas Jefferson did this at one point and still might. I'd recommend a retake.

Re: Do some schools really convert $$$$$ when you tranfer
Yes, it's true. It happened to me and to my friend when we transferred from our T50 after 1L. They said if I pay within 2 years there will be no penalty. $15k plus interest . Luckily I landed Biglaw through my new school's OCI so I can pay it all off this summer. But it's still sad to see half of my earnings go down the drain. PM if you want more specific detail.Yanky91 wrote:Someone told me that some schools convert your merit scholarship to a loan if you transfer after your first year.

I'm not in law school yet and I'm not going to Thomas Jefferson. I got accepted to much better schools with full Duritos!!!!! I just wanted to see if it was true just in case I do decide to transfer.

As I said, you can PM if you want specifics. To be fair to the school, even though I really hate them, I will say that at least they are only giving me a 2% interest rate if I pay them back within 2 years.

Based on your post history, I'm guessing Fordham. Amirite? That Upper West Side rent can be expensive...PinkRevolver wrote:As I said, you can PM if you want specifics.

No it's not Fordham. I was at a now much lower ranked school outside of NY.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
