I graduated from college in 2020, and took one gap year of work as a paralegal before starting at Harvard Law. I never expected to be admitted to Harvard when I started my law school application process, and I’m incredibly grateful to be here now. I spent a LOT of time researching law school admissions during my application year, and took on the role of a part time admissions/LSAT tutor last year with the goal of spreading the knowledge that I gained through my app process to hopefully help others with similar aspirations!

is it easier to get into a school as a transfer 2L with good grades?

Yes but not Top13
[] trox9
21:26
@EddyL10: yes I think so, just finish as high as you can in your class. I think top ten percent is a good spot to aim for
[] 2E2EDDBBTT
21:27
Top 10 means about the first 20 or 30 or 40 out of your class

21:29
Top ten percent means to be in the top ten percent of the class, no matter how large the class size
Anyone else miss the U chicago wave today?
