Too late to transfer?

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Jun 05, 2016 11:54 am

Hi all,

Here is my situation. I currently attend a T4 and was ranked in the top 4-5% fall semester. Due to a larger course load my spring semester, I did not think that I would be able to maintain my rank, and consequently, I believed my shot at transferring would be ruined. Turns out, I got a better GPA my spring semester and increased my overall GPA. However, my grades weren't released until last week.. The class ranks have not been released yet but I believe I will either remain in the top 5% or will increase due to my spring grades.

My question: is it still possible to apply within the deadlines? I wanted to throw an app to Georgetown but their application deadline is June 15, which I found today while searching LSAC. Is it even still worth it to spend the time filling out applications? I don't have a transcript uploaded or my letters of recommendation.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yes. Get your LSAC application done today, it's pretty quick. If you're still in the area by your school, email the professors you want as set up meetings to ask them to write letters ASAP. If you aren't, send them a nice email with all of the relevant info and make sure the deadline is clear. Find out your registrar's policy on transcripts/ certification letters and be ready to submit the necessary forms bright and early in the morning.

You still have plenty of time, you just need to actually get it done.
