Hey all,
I've noticed that there are some awesome transfer stories out there involving military veterans. I wanted to write a thread to give hope to those veterans out there who are thinking about transferring, but might not be in the top of their class. I just read of a Veteran in the top 1/3 of a TTT who transferred into a top 10. I was top 35% at a 40ish school and just got accepted to WUSTL with the Yellow Ribbon. I also understand that there might be a Yale transfer out there. (Rumor)
If there are any other vet stories out there post them!
Thanks all!

Re: Military Veteran Transfer Thread
I do not have a story...yet. TTTT (Top 10%)....sent in all applications...will update this thread once I start to receive results. I thought it would be a waste of money to apply to T14 schools. Did you submit any apps to T14?

Re: Military Veteran Transfer Thread
I applied to Notre Dame, UCLA, GW and WUSTL. WUSTL was my top choice. I did not apply to the t14 since I was only in the top 35% of my class. My fiancé wants to go to Northwestern Law so maybe I can live vicariously through her. Haha
Good luck. Please do tell
Air Force here!

Re: Military Veteran Transfer Thread
Best of luck guys. I'm at, guess where, and have thought about transferring, but the wife and I really love Charlottesville and are extremely unlikely to leave for a different school. Feel free to PM me about stuff - I won't put my class rank on here as a lot of my friends know this is my account.
Feel free to ask me some questions about UVA or military/law stuff in general.

Re: Military Veteran Transfer Thread
I'll guess either Michigan, because it's 9/10, or UVA, because if there really is something to this veteran transfer hypothesis, I'd expect it to have additional weight in states like Virginia.h2oplyer7 wrote: I just read of a veteran in the top 1/3 of a TTT who transferred into a top 10.
Either way, I'll echo that guy's sentiment and say that if you have T10 dreams then you should take the chance.

Re: Military Veteran Transfer Thread
I am sure a lot of people already know about the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon on here, but I thought I would post some pretty sweet links, since it took me some time to find all of them and I didn't know about this when I applied last year.
Here is a list of Yellow Ribbon schools organized by State. If you are 100% under the GI Bill then you qualify for the Yellow Ribbon. Whatever dollar amount is listed by the school, double it. The government matches the money.

Here is a GI Bill calculator. It is pretty cool. I noticed there are a few problems with it in regards to State schools, but it is pretty awesome nonetheless.

Also, if anyone has any questions about using their GI Bill I can try to answer the question. However, I might not know.
