Case Western -> Cardozo ? lateral transfer Forum

[fuzzyfuzzy]

I have a horrible GPA (2.6) but wonderful work experience with major Investment Banks. (LSAT 158, UGPA 3.42) LORs are good. I am just wondering if I'd like to live in NYC, is my chance of getting into Cardozo big?

Flame? Or are you ESL? Why did you achieve such a low GPA your first year?

ESL...first sem was 2.9...also some family issue disturbed quite a lot last semester...should I give it a try? Or it's nearly absolutely impossible to get in...Thanks

No idea, but since they're similarly ranked, maybe. Give it a try and tell us what happens.

Honest question: Have you considered dropping out and going back to finance?

I've never heard of anyone transferring lateral, or down the T2 when they were under the median at their T2 school (and I've done a lot of research). On yahoo transferapps I think there are only a couple top 50% transfers and only one of them succeeded, and it was a transfer down. It would be especially difficult to transfer that far under the median (I think Case median is a 3.0 or a 3.1). But sure go ahead and try, if you write a great PS, have a great justification for your grades, and really push your softs, maybe. 0 to 5% chance.
