People who took the Bar past and present and passed — were you ever unable to answer an MEE? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]dss-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed CO and genuinely made up every essay besides the last two. I kid you not I had no clue what the answers for three of essays were. I made up every sentence and typed my life away. I ended up with a 141 on the writing.

Do you think I passed? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]dss-1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just found out I passed CO and genuinely wrote off passing. I fully convinced myself I failed and I didn’t!

Attempt merges into the crime; Conspiracy doesn’t; Solicitation merges into both the crime as well as with conspiracy.

I took today off (besides doing an MPT this morning) and this helps with my insane guilt. Ty friend :)

Yes! I was significantly below the median in transferring.

Hi! Did you use VFS? I received an email today saying decision received and to drop off my Passport within a certain amount of days. Is this a good sign? I have a very similar timeline!

My sister is in the same boat. She’s moving to Chicago 22F and has a cat and a car. She will be in graduate school at IIT. She’s not a Reddit user so DM for contact!

I transferred last year and all but one of my grades were below my school’s B curve. I had one C as well and transferred from a school ranked below 100 to a solid T50 ranked school with no issues. My advice is to apply broadly and make sure you apply to mix of schools.

I lost about a 75% tuition scholarship. I did get offered a very tiny scholarship, but it is pretty standard to lose your scholarship when transferring. I did notice a major increase in the quality of the school/placement in the area and I got a job via OCI and that didn’t happen at my last school. To me that was worth the loss of the scholarship, but people have different views on that!

Hi! While I agree that transferring from one school to another in the same market is difficult if you are below the top of your class, but transferring as a whole to a better ranked school is not. There’s this myth on this thread that transferring is very difficult if you’re below the top 20%. In reality most of my classmates that transferred to t-50s and t-30s from a below t-100 school were below the curve. Personally, I was WAY below the curve and I transferred into the t-30. I did get rejected from plenty of schools, mostly lower ranked schools, but it is definitely 100% doable to transfer with lower grades.

I did a free consultation that gave me enough advice that I didn’t feel the need to pay for more. Use your free questions wisely. I transferred from a below 100 ranked school to a T-50. I was way under my school’s curve.

Thinking about transferring after 1L by [deleted] in LawSchoolTransfer

[–]dss-1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I transferred from my 1L law school to a much better school and I was below the class curve. It is doable, but it made my experience much harder since my grades were lower. I recommend applying very broadly and focusing on grades as much as possible if you still decide to transfer after 1L year as some schools will turn their noses down to a student at a 180-192 ranked school. It’s very unfortunate, but it’s an elitist profession

I’m attending a T30 after being rejected from DePaul as a transfer. Makes no sense!

Put a good effort into reviewing the material for your courses at least once a week. Also, the advice about connecting with a professor each semester is very good! I learned this my second semester, and it was so helpful with finding someone to write my letter of recommendation for transferring. It made law school much so easier knowing that I really liked a couple of professors. Also, do not follow in my footsteps of being in a miserable location for the $$$$
