Hi,
So I've been looking around at all of the transfer application start dates for the RD. If they start on March 1st (or earlier) and then end in June/July, should I be rushing to send it all out now? Most of the RD transfer schools won't even look at my application until my first year grades are in (according to their websites, but everyone else is rushing to send things in apparently), and I only have torts right now.
Thanks.

Re: When to transfer?
What do you mean you "only have Torts right now"? You only have one grade?

Yes, I only have my torts grade right now. My other core classes (K, Prop, Civ Pro, LRW) are year long and we only get tentative mid-year grades and Crim and Con law are this semester.

Re: When to transfer?
I mean, my thought basically is that, even if there's no reason to get stuff done way too early, I'm basically getting everything uploaded to LSAC by the middle of April. I just don't want to have to worry about crap when finals roll around, and I'd much, much rather not have to worry about it while I'm taking exams and stuff. If you have the time now, why not just get stuff in?

Re: When to transfer?
Okay thanks. I did fill out the applications on LSAC already, I haven't gotten to writing my PS although I have asked 1 professor to write me a recommendation already. I'll work on getting a second. I just didn't want to feel behind because some schools are rolling admissions for transfers and if they opened March 1st, and people were already applying I didn't want to be late if I submitted in April.

So you have five doctrinal classes and LRRW this semester? That sucks.jhilly123 wrote:Yes, I only have my torts grade right now. My other core classes (K, Prop, Civ Pro, LRW) are year long and we only get tentative mid-year grades and Crim and Con law are this semester.
