It also depends what school you're coming from. I was below 50th percentile (much closer to 25th) for CCN and got in from a T20. I highly doubt my LOR was amazing.RaceJudicata wrote:Thankfully OCI worked out and i didn't end up transferring... but jesus. Applied to transfer at two schools, above BOTH school's 75% transfer GPA, and didnt get either. Not too bitter cause of how it worked out, but would have likely had a lot less stressful fall.

I know how you feel. My GPA was well above CLS's 75% at a T1 school and I didn't get in. Have no idea what I did wrong.RaceJudicata wrote:Thankfully OCI worked out and i didn't end up transferring... but jesus.

Fair point. T2 school (strong regional though) shooting for T6-10 area. Top 5-10ish% of class. Again, owell... Honestly, thankful that several people in my range were able to transfer.. made my oci a bit more accessible.n1o2c3a4c5h6e7t wrote:It also depends what school you're coming from.

Feel the need to add to this lol. I am all set with a job so I'm not too upset anymore but seeing this data definitely brought back some disappointment. People from way worse schools got into schools I got denied from even though I was ranked #1. I understand I'm not entitled to get in anywhere just based on my grades - I must have had a shitty PS or LoR's - but yeah, I just wish I knew why.lawman84 wrote:I know how you feel.

Things have worked out just fine for me and I'm happy I stayed...but it still bothers me that I got rejected because I wish I knew the reason.

You were #1 at T1?... I have no idea how you didn't get into CLS... I'd say HLS was almost a lock. Wtf?

Isn't this the biggest blessing in disguise by saving you $100k+? I mean, it's one thing if you struck out, but you didn't. I think you won law school.RaceJudicata wrote:Thankfully OCI worked out and i didn't end up transferring... but jesus.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$NoDayButToday wrote:I'm curious how much longer transfer admissions will continue with such minimal regulation from ABA / notice from USNWR. Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad I was able to transfer, and I'm really glad that option existed. But it's also a little surprising that there hasn't been that much official notice or more data than just the mid-50 percentiles and outgoing school from the 509s. Fifty plus transfers to even a big school is a SIGNIFICANT percentage increase in class size.
Again - not complaining, especially as that's how big my transfer class was - just surprised!
Last year when they first started posting transfer GPAs on 509s, my first complaint was that a GPA doesn't give you good predictive value at all, because the median at one school can be up to .2 or .3 different, and someone with a 3.6 could be top 10% at one place, and top 33% at another, and the top 10% person would have a lot better shot than the latter.RaceJudicata wrote:Thankfully OCI worked out and i didn't end up transferring... but jesus.
