Here's a list of law schools that have early decision or early action transfer programs.
If you are seriously considering transferring, or are a pre-1L and disappointed with your admission results and think you might transfer after your 1L year, then take a few minutes to review this. I hope it will help you decide what to do!
It's the time of year when some people are making decisions they're not 100% happy about on what law school to attend.
The following data is all from 2018 ABA 509 reports [http://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx]. These are the top 25 schools to matriculate the most transfers: 1 Georgetown: 105 transfers in 2 NYU: 58 transfers in 3 Arizona State: 50 transfers in 4 Emory: 42 transfers in 5 UC Berkeley: 36 transfers in 6 Columbia: 35 transfers in 7 Loyola Los Angeles: 34 transfers in 8 Northwestern: 33 transfers in 9 Harvard: 32 transfers in 10 (tie) UCLA: 31 transfers in 10 (tie) George Washing
The following lists the law schools ranked 7-30 for the most recent USNWR rankings) in order of the percentage of students that transferred out of their first-year classes. We will do a future post on schools 31-50. We didn't use the schools in the top 6 because it has been our experience that very few students elect to transfer "up the ladder" from those schools and thus the data isn't as comparable.
Here is a personal statement from last year’s transfer cycle we think worked very well.
The transfer application cycle is quickly approaching, so here are some general thoughts and tips on the transfer process based on some of the more frequently asked questions that we receive.
Think it is too early to get going on Transfer Applications? We’re already finishing up a few! Here is how our Transfer deal works. You only have to pay 1/2 upfront. We do all the rest with you. If you get into the school(s) you are applying to, you pay the second half. It is as simple as that. Shoot us an email before we fill up!*** info@spiveyconsulting.com***
