Northwestern or Cornell?
Hey guys! I have a question about transferring to two different schools. I got into Cornell a couple hours ago and now I'm trying to decide between Northwestern and Cornell. I got my Northwestern OCI schedule an hour ago and I submitted my comment/note for the Write-On Competition last Saturday. But I've read on the Cornell website that transfer students cannot be a member of journal. I'm also concerned about missing OCI there. Thoughts? Does anyone here who was a transfer at either school have some perspective? Thank you!

Re: Northwestern or Cornell?
Cornell places better in NYC and transfers can get on a secondary journal but cannot OCI. I think NW is the right call since you will be able to go through OCI.

Re: Northwestern or Cornell?
I would stick with Northwestern since you got to participate in OCI and do write-on and already were set there. Cornell you'd miss out on OCI and would be eligible to be a work on associate for one of the secondary journals.

Re: Northwestern or Cornell?
Thank you both for your responses! I talked with another intern at my office and I've decided that I'm probably going to stay with Northwestern because I've already done OCI bidding there and I don't really want to stay in NYC after graduation.

Re: Northwestern or Cornell?
What do you mean? The above individual who initiated the thread just stated that he was admitted to Cornell. I am also in the waiting game. I have been accepted to a couple of T20 schools, and am still waiting for a decision from Cornell.
FYI- I wasn’t asking you. So back off.
Back to my initial question, what are your stats?

Re: Northwestern or Cornell?
To be fair, your username and your past questions in the Cornell 2018 Transfer thread seem to imply that you're not a transfer student. If you're in the class of 2021, then you can't be a transfer student and you're an applicant for 2018 as a 1L.Lawschool2021 wrote:What do you mean?

My stats are T2, top 23% with strong softs. My GPA first semester was really strong but because of family reasons I don't want to get into, my second semester GPA wasn't as strong.
