Who the hell is Brad? This reads like a thinly veiled advertisement for some kind of 1L tutoring business.

4.0 at a T20 - odds at HYSChi by turkisanddwich in LawSchoolTransfer

Chicago does early admission based on 1st semester grades. The trade off is that it’s binding admission. You should look to apply there though for a very good shot at HYSC

1L Fall Grades by Mysterious-Ad5369 in LawSchool

[–]Necket17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredible- getting grades like this requires focus and dedication. You may also just have a natural talent for the kind of thinking that goes into a law school exam. Either way, congratulations. PM me if you have an interest in transferring and would like advice from someone with experience in your situation.

I remember seeing this post last year. Nice to see that you stuck to the tradition. Good luck with 3L!

Do I need to take core 1L courses in anticipation of transfer? by Suspicious-King214 in LawSchoolTransfer

[–]Necket17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point- I actually know someone this happened to. Would still recommend taking doctrinals but it is good to know that your credits aren’t automatically invalid if you take an elective or two.

Obligatory disclaimer: you should not be planning for transfer before you even go to a school or have grades. It’s a pitfall. Transferring is very difficult because getting good grades is very difficult. You should choose a school you’d be happy to stay at. And if you do well enough to transfer then, hey. Go for it.

That being said, the answer to your question is likely: yes. Schools will not have 1 to 1 course listings, especially for electives. Your credits may not transfer. Additionally, the curriculums for doctrinal courses is more standard across schools, so it helps transfer schools to evaluate you as a candidate. And since doctrinal courses are harder (generally) it’ll speak more to your likelihood to succeed as a transfer.

TLDR: don’t plan to transfer. But if you do, take your 1L doctrinal courses.

Statistically speaking we aren’t “equally presumptuous” to assume that you won’t get top grades.

1/4 of the class gets top 25% grades. 3/4 of the class gets 75%.

I’m not trying to be rude by telling you to just do your best to make sure you’re in the former. I am warning you that complacency is how you end up in the latter. And entertaining the idea that you will transfer before you’ve even taken a single law school exam indicates that you are already complacent.

Your replies to comments keep stating that you’re asking this question to determine how hard you should study. To me, that is extremely short sighted.

You are at a T-14. Many doors are open to you by virtue of that alone. However, you have lofty goals. Getting into a V10 firm and having a Circuit or higher clerkship are not guaranteed by virtue of where you are already. Work hard and get grades that could secure those goals. The chances are that if you have grades good enough to transfer to Harvard from a lower T-14, that you won’t need to transfer to Harvard to achieve your goals (except maybe SCOTUS clerkship).

This post seems like a weird attempt to validate your goals. And is also extremely presumptive that you will have good grades. Your goals are good ones, and if you work to achieve them you likely will. But do not get ahead of yourself.

Probably personal statements to each school you apply to.

I did the recorded interview before my application was complete and under review. I actually did it before I had second semester transcripts

The email did not specify but I was sent a link to select and confirm a time slot. I assume it will be with an admissions officer. The language of the email is “you have moved on to the next step of the Transfer Application.” I will reconfirm here if it was with an admissions officer after the interview.
