Top Law Schools

I decided not to throw in a transfer app to George Mason University Law after reading
I believe on the ABA's transfer data sheet that last year they accepted 0 transfer students.

Anyone applying there or heard back from GMU this year?

This is part of my rejection letter:

"
George Mason has received a tremendous number of applications for a very limited number of transfer seats this year, making the process extremely competitive. As a result, we are denying a high percentage of the applicants, including many with very fine qualifications."

I don't really care though because I was accepted to a better school.

i applied and have not heard back yet.

lovelaw - can i ask what your stats are? trying to figure out my own chances. congrats on getting into a better school.

Thanks, my stats are T4 top 10%. Good luck getting into a good school.

anyone in at GMU yet?

i am coming from a TTT top 5% and a good reason for transferring (husband accepted a job in nova and we already relocated from the midwest to dc this summer). i am in at american, but REALLY hoping for GMU. i didn't realize how few transfers they take...

got dinged from GMU and in to multiple T30....dont think they are taking many

This. I was rejected a few days ago. Even though I wouldn't have gone there, it's a little comforting to know a possible reason for the ding was due to very few spots.

FWIW, I'm a VA resident who was also dinged at GMU but accepted to a few T25's.

This year might be particularly brutal for transfers to Mason. Our entering class was way to big (about 50-60 students over the norm) so they might be resistant to adding more students. Either way, they have traditionally taken very few transfers.
