Top Law Schools

T55 - 65; Top 11%
what r my chances?
thanks.

Uh, pretty poor, I would say. Top 5 at that rank and you'd have a shot, though even then you could easily be rejected. I think where you are you're looking at Georgetown and down. Certainly you'd have a great chance at getting into a GW or something in that range.

If you're a VA resident, you have a tiny chance.

If you're not, I'd say 0% odds.

Sorry, bud.

Rejected today at UVA.

I'm not a VA resident, though, so 0% odds makes me feel a tad better. But then it upsets me deeply, having spent a fair deal time and energy and application fee on a school where the odds weren't even 1%? Give me a tenth of a percent. Thats all I ask for, a freaking tenth of a percent, so I know someone from out of state got in.

Well, your odds may have been better than 0%, I was just replying to OP. However, transferring into UVA is known to be tough if you're not a VA resident.

Thanks, vanwinkle. Even if the odds were 0%, though, I'm not actually upset. I didn't actually spend a "fair deal of time and energy," although I did spend the application fee--Cuz I jus don't care about UVA. You know what, actually, FUVA, F-it

Okay, I'm upset.

VA resident

FWIW, VA resident, top 3-5% and LR attending an out of state T2 and dinged. PS tailored towards the school. E-mail said they're taking 12 students this year.

i applied though i have nooo chance. i'll let you know when i get rejected

stumbled upon this thread randomly..

Does going to another law school in VA for a year make one a state resident for the purposes of transferring?

Rejected by e-mail following a failed attempt at in-state status. t30 top 10-15%.

Seems low.

Sorry to hear that Prospective.

Haven't looked into it, but I'm almost 100% sure the answer is likely no.

Not too disappointed at this point, had better luck with my top choice. Hope things work out well for ya.

Just found out via status checker that I have been denied.

Dinged. Top 5% T2.

I have been in review for over two weeks now. This can't be good.

fwiw, i was admitted on july 1 and have already withdrawn. i had a lot of long talks with the VA residency office regarding my in-state status and was only admitted after VA residency was approved. I think they took a tiny class, and I got the impression that it was all instate. So for those of you who aren't VA residents, I don't think you should stress

i go to pretty much the #1 feeder school for T2 transfers to VA and I didn't even apply as an out-of-state resident... checked the #s from past years and just felt like I had no chance

UVA apparently had only 12 seats available. My semi-educated guess is that they all went to VA residents.

In other words, your chances are pretty much nil.

I hope you tried Michigan too.

Dinged, even though I'm a VA resident attending a non-VA school and received encouraging emails from the adcoms.

I was made aware this afternoon of 1 student at my school (VA school) whom is a NON VA resident and was admitted to UVA. She's like just inside the top 10% or so.

Wow. That is cold. This is why the VA legislature is pissed at them. If I had facts to back this up, I would certainly write letters to the governor, my VA House delegate, etc...
