Tier 4 to IVY

Post by APE285 » Sat May 29, 2010 1:28 pm

I am in the top 2% of my 1L class at a T4 School. My numbers where not great in undergrad. I took care of my father who, at the time, had cancer and ultimately passed away my senior year. With that being said what are my chances of transferring to T14? ie. Columbia

Blanket the top 20 with apps and see what happens. Columbia might not happen, but you might luck out and get into some other t14. Good luck.

OP might as well stay put if he/she is only going from a T4 to GeorgeTTTown.

I think it is fair to differentiate GULC from the rest of the T14 in transfer app process due to sheer size of the transfer class at GULC making it seem much easier to transfer into GULC than into the other T14's.

@JordynAsh-If you are suggesting that I am in some way against GULC or that I am lying you're wrong.I would jump at the chance to go to GULC.But, theres already alot of info on GULC trans.So..why ask?

Interesting situation. I don't know the answer, but I suspect that successfully transferring to a Top 14 law school will be good publicity for your Tier 4 law school & give their future law students substantial reason to do well in their first year.

What? I highly doubt any school would be willing to basically admit "the only reason people go here is as a jumping platform to better schools." They would rather that person stay there and get a good job via their good grades and say "people who go here get into the NLJ250 and V100."

LOL. I don't think you're lying (about what even?). It was just a joke.
