Do I have a chance? Forum

Hello,

My info is: 1L GPA: 3.44 - 1st term: A, A-, B, B-, 2nd term: A, A, A-, A-, B. I attend a 4th tier law school.

Please let me know if I have a chance to transfer to a tier 2 or tier 3 law school.
I have sent applications to DePaul, Chicago-Kent and Rutgers-Newark. (apps are not complete yet)

I decided not to take summer classes and the registrar's office made me fill out a form for an approved leave. I did everything they asked me to do. I went to check on the status of my transcripts and dean's letters today, and I was told that I am on "unapproved leave" which is ridiculous. The clerk told me she would fix everything, however, I am afraid that this info might have been sent to the law schools already.

Also, I am foreign born (Europe) and have an accent. I was going to call Rutgers today and check whether they have received my paperwork, but I am so afraid that once they hear an accent they will automatically reject me.

Any info or a piece of advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

More information would help. What school did you attend for 1L? What are your goals? What are you doing this summer?

I sent you a personal message, because my law school has people from the administration everywhere -forums, facebook,etc - They are trying to "catch" students who tarnish the school's "great" reputation.

I can't offer much advice on this thread, except that I currently attend Rutgers-Newark and just wanted to let you know that we have an incredibly diverse student body. Your accent would not hurt you at all.

Thank you for your reply. I called Rutgers -Newark to confirm that my application was received. The lady I spoke with was kind and helpful. She did not have my application at the time I called, but 2 hours later she called and confirmed that she just received the package with all of the paperwork.
Are you from NJ?

I transferred last year from a T4 to a T1. If you want some advice or info send me a PM.
