I should probably add that I am a non-traditional student. That means that did not go immediately from undergrad into law school. I worked for about 3 years before I went to law school. Further, I took the LSAT twice so do not be discouraged if you don't do amazing the first time. One thing that stands out is that I did a couple sessions with a tutor who told me that if I did not get into Columbia the first time, I should just hold off on going to law school alltogether and apply the next round because it was nearly impossible to transfer into a school this good. You can imagine how hard that was for me to hear. I say all that to say: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER should you let anyone discourage you about your plans. If you say you are going to do it, then, by God, plan, pray, and execute. Do not let ANYONE stand in your way. Not even yourself. You've got this!
@@kerinsajjad8394 Hi Kerin, I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean that you are currently a part-time undergrad student? Or that you are currently a part-time JD student looking to transfer to full-time? If it is the latter, I admit that I do not know enough to answer your question, definitively. What I do know is that every school has requirements of what they are looking for from transfer students. For example, most schools I applied to required something like 30-32 credits completed, core 1L courses completed, etc. I would advise you to reach out to the admission offices of the respective schools you are considering to ask them how they have (if they have ever) dealt with something like that. Best of Luck!
@@kerinsajjad8394 Ahh okay, I think I understand. No, I don't think that looks bad at all and I actually don't think that it will affect you. At my old school, Con Law is a 2L course (but a 1L course at most other schools). As you can tell, that did not pose any problem for me at Columbia. I just had to take it with the 1Ls when I transferred. So long as you are considered a full time student and you meet the minimum credit requirements, etc., you should be just fine.
Congratulations on your success! Its really encouraging to hear your story. I'm currently applying for the fall of 2020 and I'm in a very similar situation. I have two questions if you can find the time to answer. 1. How much does the ranking of the school that you start at effect your ability to move up in ranking? 2. What is it like trying to join extracurricular activities at your new school after transferring? I'm interested in joining Law Review wherever I end up, and I would hate to miss the boat.
This was a highly-anticipated video! First, for all the viewers, please take note of Priscilla's feedback and insight on the transfer process. Second, from the moment I met Priscilla, I have received nothing but positive feedback, insight, and advice regarding how to transfer law schools successfully. Third, I took Priscilla's advice and feedback and put it to practice. After a long 1L year, to God be the glory, with the wisdom, knowledge, and strength that God gave me, I ended up in the top of my class and am in the process of submitting transfer apps. Priscilla is correct, as a 1L, you will be tested in the following ways: academically, mentally, and emotionally. Lastly, may God continue to bless Angel, Sam, and Priscilla as they have been and are a true blessing in my life!
I transferred after my first year of law school. I knew I was going to transfer during my first semester. Luckily, I did the early transfer program for the law school I transferred to and I knew in May, but other transfers didn’t find out until July. I would say, being in the top 5% is useful for a top 10-15 law school. But, I was able to transfer to a tier 2 school with a 3.0. But, it’s all relative. Just speaking on my experience 😊
Congratulations on your success, Dree! You are right, it depends on where you are trying to transfer. At the end of the day, what matters is that you try your absolute best and that you are happy with the legal education you receive. Best of luck with all future endeavors!
This video is soooo helpful Sam & Angel! Literally in this situation right now... a lot of life circumstances happened, so I don't think I'm going to get into a T-14 law school. I made some regrets in my undergrad career that I really want to turn around in my last year of college. I'm currently in the application process for Howard Law and a couple of Law schools in the NYC area.
Elizabeth, I completely understand how things come up in life. I wish you the absolute best in your endeavors this last year and in your application! I'm pulling for you.
Im a fairly new subscriber and I want to say thank you to Angel and Sam. because youve shown the representation that I needed to see when it came to Ivy League, while being a black woman. I truly appreciate it! Thank you so much!! Columbia is on my short list for Law schools.
I love you ladies and have been following your videos for some years now...I've been a paralegal for 4 years and applying to law school 8 years after graduating from undergrad. Your videos have really been a blessing to me during this process of applying to law school as a black woman.
This is one of my favorite videos you guys have done, it was straight forward, lighthearted, and informative. Priscilla, Sis you did that! The way you explained your grind speaks volumes about the honest work you put in. Again, I am very proud but even more, inspired by all three of y'all (Birdman voice) #CongratsYouGuys!
Thank you for sharing your transfer experience! I was hoping you could speak to what extracurriculars stand out on a transfer app, and what their worth is next to a high gpa.
TL, most people don't so Kudos to Angel and Sam for getting the message out. I was really privileged in the fact that a friend and mentor did it first so I always knew that it was an option for me.
Honestly I watch this video often because it’s so encouraging! I have hope that even if my top choice bypasses me this time, the very next year I will get another chance! Thank you for being so detailed! I will share my testimony here soon❤️❤️❤️
I can’t change my gpa. I’m older and went to college many years ago. And the LSAT is a challenge for me. NGL. So I’m focusing on my softs. Started volunteering at the courts and working with seniors. And getting an entry level job in law to build work experience. And I’m going to try and apply really early. And, focusing on public interest. Because I realized that transferring..I would not have a chance at need based free money.
Great video! Do you know if you all can do a video about how to get into law school with a low undergraduate GPA? Like of getting a master's will be better, paralegal certificate, gap year working , etc. I would really appreciate the help! thanks 😊 Also congratulations you all !!!
Dont mean to put you on the spot but how low is your GPA? If its below a 3.3 then yes doing great in a masters program would look a lot better....it also depends on your lsat score, lower the GPA, higher your lsat score needs to be....dont forget your personal statement either or great letters of recommendations, those do wonders if they arent generic
Mar, it truly depends. I would say go with the masters if that is something you feel you want to pursue. I did not get a masters in the interim and actually, I did not go directly from undergrad to law school. I worked for 3 years until I decided that I could no longer push it back.
What's gonna happen to the channel now? I so enjoyed ya'll journey and advice and I have no interest in law school. I love the energy and I'm inspired by ya'll work ethic
@@stephanies3484 Yeah, the second best law school in my state, #1 in my area.lol Just had to do what I had to do. Also, I have a job at a full-service corporate law firm (we are located in various states). I think you do see what I did. 😁🤑
Hey hey! So I actually don’t get notifications when yall ask questions so I apologize is these answers are late. At some schools (Cornell), I would not have been allowed to write on for law review. Columbia didn’t have that rule so I could have written on if I wanted to. You will need to look through the school’s transfer process to determine what, if anything, you’re precluded from doing. I had done write on for my old school already and honestly, I didn’t wanna deal with the headache again so I went for a different journal. I wasn’t precluded from any activity at all at Columbia. Transfer students don’t get scholarships normally, no. However I will say that my alma mater offered me one. They said it was based on my undergrad need but low key I think they wanted me bad enough that they were willing to make an offer cuz I’ve never heard of this before anywhere.
I’m self studying for the November LSAT at the moment (PowerScore) and would like to know do you have any friends who self study? And if so is there any advice that can be given? Such as study schedules, other free sources to help with portions of the prep that can’t really grasped.
I'm studying for the September LSAT on Khan Academy. It's all free, you take a diagnostic practice test, then enter your goal score and they tailor a practice schedule for you to get you to that goal score. They also rank the sections you need to work on based on your diagnostic test from low to high. You also have access to lessons that break down the questions and answers, they have a section for review, etc. Super resource heavy, I love it!
DRACARYS88 yes I was recently using that to see if I could get better on sections that I’m currently struggling with, I will definitely use the khan academy more
I self studied for 4 mnths. My score only improved 5 points. If you want to go to Columbia, invest your money into hiring a tutor or go to an in person class. Self studying is literally my biggest regret
I'm sure they take that into account, but do not rest on those laurels alone. While they may consider it, after 1L, your LSAT is not that important (considering it isn't actually and accurate indicator of how well you will do in law school). Focus on grades.
I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a 3.1 GPA. I graduated with a degree in computer science, which explains my low GPA. Do you think I have a shot at a T14 law school?
Hey girl, I'm in the same boat! I graduated with a very similar GPA from Texas A&M. From what I've come across in my research, ANYTHING is possible! Study for your LSAT and make it a priority for at least 3 months. There are several T14 schools that will overlook a low GPA if you have an impressive LSAT score. I highly recommend using Law School Numbers and looking at your target school's GPA and LSAT. The general rule of thumb is if your GPA is below the school's median, your LSAT should be above their 75th percentile. Best wishes, you've got this(:
Wow! Great video. What type of extra-curricular activities would ya'll suggest taking part in to stand out? Leadership positions etc? Thank you so much.
KiKi, That really depends on your school and what you are trying to do. Most schools do not allow 1Ls to participate on trial teams but I was lucky enough that my school did (and it aligned with my litigation interests) so I was on the arbitration trial team; I was a student ambassador; and I was in BLSA. There really isn't a lot of room to do TOO much given how hectic and difficult 1L is so I would say: Under no circumstances should you bite off more than you can chew. At the end of the day, the grades matter the most.
The courts here in Los Angeles use college students (and high school) as volunteers in the Self Help center helping underserved litigants with family law. That’s what I’m doing right now. Maybe your states court does the same?
That's correct. Most, if not all law schools will NOT offer you any scholarships as a transferring 2L (caveat: I can only speak to the T14 Schools on that subject). I did get a rather generous scholarship offer from my alma mater, however, which is a T20 school but I think it was for a combination of reasons (including the grades).
Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. I would say: 1. get in a study group for ; finals but make your own outline; 2. use an outline from the year before as a resource when making your outlines to make sure that you are not missing anything; and 3. take practice exams, and if your professors have the time, ask them about any confusing parts of the exam you took. Further, you want to ask them exaclty what they are looking for in an answer (some profs want a "kitchen sink" approach and others prefer that you answer only the question asked of you).
I'm late to you ladies but question...how low is too low regarding undergrad gpa? I'm almost 7 years removed from undergrad , does gpa outweigh professional experience?
Sorry, I haven’t checked this thread in a while. No, given how long you have been out of school, I can or say that it matters as much as someone without professional experience
L School is so subjective according to each professor, you may study eight hours a day, and not wright an exam the way a professor wants it, and barely pass that class.
Eating doritos while doing a video is so trashy and unprofessional. Please don’t do that again. You are young professionals representing black women and we live and die by how we are represented.
Angel & Sam LLP , I have heard of them. However, those are for people seeking those things out specifically. They aren’t for educational purposes and don’t have to same trope attached to them as what is so easily attached to black women as “unprofessional” or “undignified” or “classless”. I am not trying to hate just trying to point out that it is important to be mindful of what you represent- young, beautiful, and well-educated black women. They call us “ghetto” too easily and you can be the perfect example of that not being the case-if you are mindful of how you present yourself.
@@nanostar7660 The entire purpose of our channel is to push back against the narrative that to be successful you have to conform to this quintessential image of what a professional Black woman is. We neither want nor aspire to be that. We can be professional while being ourselves and eating Doritos, and if that means our channel is not for everyone, so be it. Happy MLK weekend!

What was your lsat score and your gpa upon applying to your first law school
Doesn't transferring hurt your ranking?
Did you have to pay another seat deposit to transfer?
Do you believe your LSAT matters in the transfer process? Or is it solely your law school GPA + letters and other materials
I'm sure they take that into account, but do not rest on those laurels alone. While they may consider it, after 1L, your LSAT is not that important (considering it isn't actually and accurate indicator of how well you will do in law school). Focus on grades.
If I have a “W” on my undergrad transcript do you think I can still transfer into Columbia law school
Or even law school in general?
yeah, they care 95% about GPA and LSAT
did she ever say what her undergrad GPA was?
