Top Law Schools

Anyone heard anything yet? I know it's a bit early just curious.

No changes for me. Been complete for about 3 weeks

Hey guys, transferred last year. Just so you know, no matter which updates show up on your portals and here on TLS, decisions probably won't start coming until late March/early April. I appreciate that isn't what you guys wanna hear, but hopefully that means you guys will do a little less compulsive checking like me haha. Hang in there and keep those grades up!

Did anyone's law school go to pass/fail this semester and have yet to apply as a transfer? I was waiting for my spring semester grades but will not have anything to show as my school went mandatory pass/fail.

You mind telling your stats and how and when you received your acceptance?

wait so gtown has an early transfer app cycle??

most other schools seem due june 1.

Happy this thread got started - what are people's stats? Also, has anyone heard anything from admissions on any changes because of COVID-19??

I am TTT, 3.68, top 10%, and 3 years as a legal intern - for sure not a shoe in but hoping for the best.

Transferred from T2 to GULC last year. Happy to take questions!

Also applied and still waiting to hear back. Applied 2/2

When did you hear back? I saw the website said by the end of April or early May but read that as the earlier end, so that's exciting to hear it could be sooner.

Good luck to you. TTT 3.8 here. Also curious what effect (if any) the coronavirus will have on transfer admissions. Also, is anyone else here applying to other schools?

Accepted at George Washington, denied at Cornell. Likely applying to Fordham. Considering taking a shot at NYU or Columbia for the fun of it. T3/T4 3.94.

Has anyone asked if they will be accelerating their regular decision apps now that most schools are P/F this semester?

T2 - 3.64 - Top 10ish - Master's Degree + 1 year work exp.

I emailed beginning of this week and they told by the end of April / early May.

In at GWU and I have a Skype interview with Vanderbilt today. I may apply to UT depending on whether or not I get in here.

Also good luck everyone!!

I'm applying to Berkeley as well. Bay Area native, and given the circumstances I'm feeling the pull of family. Do you have NY ties? With a GPA like that I'm a little surprised Cornell denied. Congrats on GW and good luck on the others.

Best of luck to you too, and congrats on GWU! Thanks for the info, now I can cool it on checking the status page so often.

TTT 3.8 here - I got an email from Georgetown today asking what my summer plans were, anyone else?

Awesome to hear they are making movement! I haven't heard anything, but also had my summer associate position on my resume. Did you have summer plans on your resume or application?

What's your rank, if you don't mind me asking?

I did not have any summer plans listed, the email's language made it seem more like a "finish your file" sort of thing.

I am top 10% but probably closer to top 5% (our school only releases percentiles so we have top 10, 25, 50, 67, and 75)

Hoping for early action but a deferral seems more likely given all that is happening, also I will not have spring grades.

I guess it's about that time!
T1 3.67

I think you have good EA chances. If anything, I'm thinking they may not defer since most of us won't have new grades to show for spring. This is about to be the longest month of my life waiting for this app!

Yeah I mean this is total speculation, but I was thinking that maybe deferrals will still happen to get a better sense of what the applicant pool actually is, every time I think about it i have a new theory haha

On one hand, no one will have a chance to improve their GPA's with spring semester

But on the other hand, there will be more 4.0's because those who did get 4.0's didnt have another semester to ruin it.

Ditto to the longest month of my life.

Also, for those that haven't yet, y'all should sign up for informed delivery. It will give you an update when you have mail incoming, so you will know hours before you normally would for Georgetown acceptance

I am going slightly neurotic if you couldn't tell haha

Just to let you know, that won't always work. When I applied last year, my letter arrived and Informed Delivery never told me. That also created...some stress.

Good idea, I am definitely going to look in to that!


So it sounds like it is mail acceptance letters, not email? What about denials, are those usually mail or email?

Pretty sure GULC has moved away from snail mail since COVID ramped up (it has for 0Ls at least)
