Re: UCLA Transfer 2016
I'm at TT and top 15%. I was offered an interview and am interviewing on Monday. Does anyone have any experience with the interviews or whether getting an interview is a good sign? Looking at previous years, getting an interview seemed to be a good sign. Not everyone that gets an interview gets in, though. Any thoughts?

Re: UCLA Transfer 2016
Not totally sure but I would say that getting an interview is a step in the right direction. Someone I intern with got an interview offer, and we turned in our applications around the same time and I am still waiting to hear something. I'm crossing my fingers

And have you guys submitted Spring grades or was the interview request before?

Very casual. I did mine over Skype, wore a polo and jeans (if that matters? Just don't wear a tank)Bilka wrote:estefanchanning wrote:That's awesome! I applied mid may, interviewed late may, and now waiting to hear back.

They asked generic questions like why I want to transfer etc. They also pressed on any weak points that my app had (i.e why I'm not part of many extra curricular activities). Overall, I'm not sure if the interview adds anything. They just wanna make sure you're not cray.

See above. Very generic questions. (How was 1L? Why law school? Why transfer? Any questions? Will also probe you on any weaknesses in your app so be prepared and good luck!)TransferPLS wrote:I have a skype interview coming up.

Same, radio silence since interview. This can't be good if acceptances are rolled out day after.estefanchanning wrote:That's awesome! I applied mid may, interviewed late may, and now waiting to hear back.

Not necessarily. What are your guys stats? Last year some people got in 2-4 weeks after the interview. I think I was just lucky.Shell62 wrote:See above. Very generic questions. (How was 1L?

Re: UCLA Transfer 2016
Yeah, I'm hoping that's the case haha. I think they started their acceptances late Friday when you got accepted and they'll reach out to more people next week. Historically their acceptances have began on the 3rd Monday of June. (At least according to the reportable stats we have on TLS) fingers crossedUCLAHopeful16 wrote:Not necessarily.

Are you in CA? I think strong LA and CA ties gave me a boost. You should get in, though.estefanchanning wrote:Yeah, I'm hoping that's the case haha.
