Top Law Schools

Thought I would start this off. Any movement for anyone other than complete?

No other movement. ~15% at TT

Anybody seen anything other than "complete" yet? With the supposed turnaround/decision time of the beginning of May, I feel like some applications have to be in review by now?

Still waiting. Top 13% at a TTTT.

Nothing yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't change for a while tbh

Nothing yet.

Current transfer at USC here. I applied ED last year and wanted to offer to answer any questions you all might have.

Our transfer class from last year (about 15 students) has done very well - we've been told they will be taking a larger class this coming year. Best of luck to you all!!

That'd be awesome if they did. Does applying ED give you a boost? I'm 15% at TT so not quite good enough, but I'm hoping that I get a little boost cause I did ED.

Unless I somehow get into Berkeley, I'll see you there. Perhaps you can show a good 'ol Bay Area boy the ropes?

Why are you so confident you'll get in?

Not very, but decently. I'm at the cusp right now. If I don't get in ED, I'll probably get in for regular decision. Guaranteed A's in 2/5 of my classes (elective and W+R where everything has been graded). Top score on both midterms in other two classes. One class I don't have any grade in, but I'm studying my ass off.

Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but I like my chances. Didn't mean to come off as cocky, though. Apologies.

No, I was just curious if you had already gotten word or something. Good luck.

My transfer class has students from Southwestern, so don't count yourself out. I was pretty well qualified and got in ED, but I think most decisions are made in the main application pool. Ties to the area and an inclination that you will do well at OCI seem more likely to give a boost from what I've noticed.

Hi! So I really want to go to USC and applied ED. But I am wondering what happens if an ED application is deferred -- does it remain binding if/when it turns into an acceptance later? Or if I applied to another school after being deferred, would I be free to go there if accepted? This seems like a question for the admissions office but I doubt they want to field this one right now.

Thanks!

If you're deferred then it's no longer binding if you're accepted.

Finally in "2nd Committee Review" today. Anybody else?

WTF? I'm just on complete. Not even first committee review. What's your stats?

I skipped straight from "Complete" this morning to "2nd Committee Review." No intermediate steps.

Stats: top 10% at 50-60s CA school

Oh nice. You're definitely in. Hopefully mine switches soon too.

Congrats HTGAWM! Annalise would be proud!

Okay, mine went to Committee 2nd read today

Went to 2nd CR today as well.

2nd committee review as well. Don't remember seeing a 1st committee review. Hopefully this is a good thing.

Stats: Tier-4 School if California, Near top 10%. A lot of extracurriculars (a lot of pro-bono).

Fingers crossed, guys. Good luck!

Yesterday, switched to "In Final Review" in the morning, and "Decision Finalized" in the late afternoon (~3pm pacific). Acceptance email came about an hour after that! Good luck to everybody and hope to see you on campus in the fall

Never made it past the 2nd review. Deferred. Guess my grades just aren't up to snuff. It's just hard to gauge because these TTTT schools have insane curves and the top GPAs aren't anywhere close to perfect (I think the top was like 3.7). Plus I assume the requirements for Early Transfers are more stringent.

Just gotta kill it on these finals and hope for the best. I'm at the top 13% of my class and I think I need to crack the top 10% to have a chance (top 5% if we're talking about Georgetown or Berkeley).

Congrats to the fellow above me who got in, by the way!
