Spring transfer thread
Hey all. Never posted on here before but need some advice. I'm a part time 2L at a 4th tier law school In the southeast. I finished my 1L year ranked in the top 30 percent, and applied to transfer at a range of schools in the tier 1,2, and 3 and was rejected by every single one of them. My gpa and lsat were low, but I have done pretty well in law school. I'm planning to apply again to some schools for the summer and fall semester because I really do not want to be in the school I am at anymore and do not mind giving up credits to do so. Finances are not an issue at all. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Re: Spring transfer thread
How many credits do you have? They'll only accept you if you have less than 33 credits.

At some schools maybe. Most will simply limit the number of credits you can bring with you, as OP has acknowledged he knows.CounselorNebby wrote:How many credits do you have? They'll only accept you if you have less than 33 credits.

OP, is your class rank the same as your last application cycle?

Re: Spring transfer thread
I think you should be able to transfer into a T2.

Re: Spring transfer thread
There are many examples. This is not to say you can transfer after your 2L and just do 2L all over again. Try searching this forum for part-time transfers as it's often the part-timers who have something different than exactly one year's worth.CounselorNebby wrote:Did not know that.

If you need something concrete, see Cal:
A maximum of 32 units completed elsewhere will be accepted toward a Berkeley J.D. degree, although students who have completed more units may apply.
