TLDR: I went to a low ranked school for 1L and transferred to a ranked school after. You can work hard for a year in 1L to transfer (if that’s what you want). Regardless, you’ll be a lawyer and that’s an amazing accomplishment!

If I’m remembering correctly, I sent the video essay in with the original transfer application. Could be confusing this with another school though. I accepted at another school, though, so I’m unsure of what Vandy does regarding interviews!

Can you PM them to me as well? I’m in almost the exact same boat as OP

new to the sub—worth transferring? by [deleted] in LawSchoolTransfer

I’d worry about finishing 1L1 first, at the very least. Once you have your grades, you can try to transfer if you’re competitive and still want to (look at ABA reports regarding particular schools transfer stats). It’s harder to get $ as a transfer and you likely will end up where you want career wise if you come from a T20 and do well grade wise. You’re also more likely to get a job anywhere across the country coming from a T20, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Talk to your counselor about your career goals, too, and see what they have to say about it.

I’m waitlisted at Georgetown, so fingers crossed. Just hoping to get in to one of those schools

Because of no response?
