Transferring / Total Wildcard?
« on: April 18, 2010, 03:35:07 PM »
I am in a peculiar situation in my law school career and am looking to transfer. I recently withdrew from law school during my 2L 2nd semester due to a tragic event in my personal life. I'm at a T4 school somewhere in the top 25%. My cumulative GPA is not stellar due to a poor 1st semester GPA (didn't figure out IRAC) but my cumulative GPA improved by 0.4 two semesters later and have made dean's list since. Wrote-on law review (2nd best casenote), published, and one of my arguments have been quoted by a law professor in a law review article. I see that people on here from T4 schools are usually in the top 5% when transferring to a T1. Because of the conflict between my bad class rank vs. strong soft factors, I think it's a wildcard if I shoot for T1. Any comments on my chances at Georgia, Alabama, Illinois, or maybe a T2 like Georgia State?
