Second year part-time, 37 hours- too many to transfer?
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 12:20 pm
Like the title says, I'm a second year student in a part-time program. The program is set up so that the 1L curriculum (31 hours) takes two years to finish. However, we also take 6 hours of upper level courses in our second year- Con Law and an elective. After Spring semester I'll have 37 hours altogether.
I am wondering if I will be barred from transferring because I have too many hours. A lot of schools have a stated maximum of 32ish hours. It's not clear whether that means:
A. The school will not consider admitting someone >32 hours, OR
B. The school will let you transfer but you lose any additional hours
I'm looking generally at T14 schools and more specifically at Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia. I was told by Columbia that it would be okay but I would lose the extra credits. But then I read where someone here was told it was not allowed. Do any of you know of anyone who was able to transfer after two years in a part-time program? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
