Transferring Undergrad after being accepted to Law School? Forum

[fliptrip]

Maybe I'm naive, but I in no way think OP should be trying to finesse this. I would say exactly what happened, make it clear that I'd accepted my punishment, and that I would never make that sort of mistake again.

I mean, this is what it is. It is not a good situation. Of course there's more to this than what we know, because a year long suspension is a very serious sanction. But, at this point, OP can only control what he can control--he can't control what an adcomm or a C&F board will do in the future. All he can control is how he handles himself going forward and when confronted with times he has to disclose/discuss this event.

One thing I would do, OP is make sure that I did not mention this casually to folks at school when you do enroll in law school. I could see this sort of thing really raising some folks' hackles. I can almost see the Above the Law headlines now.

So what's the consensus? Do I have to meet with a C+F attorney?

What is my next step?

I'm no expert here, but I'd consider starting with an established professional admissions consultant. You've got to make sure you can still attend law school. Also, an admissions consultant might have decent advice about your post-grad C&F future, or at least be able to put you in touch with someone who can help.

Good luck, OP.
