Yeah, some schools have already started accepting transfers.
Ah yes. I would say this means they likely did well, but lets be serious; GeorgeTTTown probably lets in twice as many transfers as regular applicants.

For first years going into their second semester? If true, that's really something.

But I have noticed one new person and have yet to see another I saw basically every day last semester.

I'm guessing the new people are either LLM, part-time, or graduate students.

Just realized someone in my section dropped out. Haven't seen any new faces though.

I've just assumed the new faces are people I never noticed before...

Concerning the new student thing, I have two new faces in one of my classes. They are both transfers from some place that didn't require that class first year.

They could be 2L transfers. A lot of the transfers here have to take con law with the 1Ls because their school didn't offer it for 1L.

Does Property fall into that category?

There's someone who had to take a leave of absence for family reasons last year and is returning to finish 1L now.

I just can't see why anyone would lie with the anonymous poll though :-/

Also, the way the poll is written is critically important; I would probably call bullshit too if it were "75%LSAT/above median" -- but by lumping @median with above median, we're talking the majority here. Also, depending upon the school, 75-80% of the class could be "median".

We have "The Regulatory State" as well. Do you use the Bressman, Rubin, and Stack book?

At/above median just makes way more sense than at/below for the caliber of schools most TLSers are attending

Agreed! Definitely not a poll critique; just an observation. I'm down.

I'm afraid you've gravely offended GULCers, who comprise approx 99% of this thread
