Callback interview as a transfer
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2018 11:25 am
Dear TLS,
I recently did OCI at a T2 school and have my first CB scheduled for next week. After OCI and serious consideration, I accepted an offer of admission from a T6 school (only school I applied as a transfer to, and the school I always wanted to attend) I received very late in the cycle.
I have the following questions:
1) Should the resume I send the recruiters pre-callback include my new status as a transfer student at X law school?
2) Overall, will this status work against me at the callback stage?
Statistically, the first firm I am interviewing with has only 2 active attorneys from my T2 school, while it has over 20 from the T6 to which I have transferred.
My first CB is with my dream firm so really want to optimize the situation. I accepted the transfer for personal reasons and due to the inability of my T2, where I am paying near sticker, to offer me any additional merit-based aid.
All advice and experiences are greatly appreciated.
