I applied. Have an interview on Tuesday. What do you think they will ask??

They ask very standard questions like why do you want to transfer. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Turn around time from file complete to decision is about 48 hours. So if you did not request an interview, you should have a decision fairly soon (assuming your file is complete).

I don't think my stat is a no brainer acceptance, but I would prefer to withhold it for now. Though I am from Indiana, so maybe that helped.

They emailed me after I first noticed it on the status check. Snail mail came a few days after the email.

Application is almost complete for ND, so I am just checking in. I did my interview about three weeks ago, and now I am just waiting on my final transcripts.

yeah same. almost complete. hopefully the turn around time can still be within a couple of days. what are your stats if you don't mind me asking

I am at a Tier 1, in the top 35% of my class. Not the best numbers by any stretch. I really just wanted to get out of the city where my law school is located. (Maybe that gives it away) I applied to WUSTL, UCLA and ND. I really love ND's campus...and I'm a Catholic boy.

You're most likely in at both WUSTL and ND, I can't speak to UCLA since I did not apply there.

WUSTL vs. ND is a hard choice I am facing right now.

Depends on what you're looking for...South Bend has its definite pros and cons... i had a couple of friends go there undergrad and i've been to visit as well, but I think the kicker for me would be the larger alumni and network base for ND. WUSTL certainly has a respectable law base, but I think the ND brand might stand out more on a national level IMO

That, and being from Indiana, I'm biased toward ND as well, though WUSTL does have a very reputable law school too.. Decisions decisions.

Agreed! ND has the name recognition, and I feel like I meet people all the time from Notre Dame Law, even in California. It is a hard decision. For me, it will come down to finances.

good problems to have though. good luck. now does anyone know how many transfer ND usually takes?

If you look at school data on LSAC, it has the transfer in amount from last year I think. I'm actually at Notre Dame right now looking at apartments. I think I am leaning ND more and more.

Re: California, of course UCLA will be your best bet, but ND has a strong west coast presence too if UCLA doesn't work out.

h2oplyer7 · Post by **h2oplyer7** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 4:15 pm

I heard between 10-25, depending on the year.

I'm also looking at ND versus WUSTL. But I haven't heard back from ND yet. I really liked both campuses.

when did your ND app go complete?

h2oplyer7 · Post by **h2oplyer7** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 6:53 pm

In at Notre Dame!!!! I just checked the status checker. Evidently they don't send an email.
