Transfer Application Question

Post by HamiltonBurr » Thu May 16, 2019 7:09 pm

Do admissions officers have access to your 1L applications? For example, I disclosed expunged charges that I didn't have to disclose because I was given bad advice. Will they have access to those documents?

Did you apply to the same school last year? I think if it's a school where you applied last cycle, yes, they'll have your app. In fact, some schools say they won't take LORs used for 1L admission.

If you did not apply to that school, I don't think that they'd have any record from a different application.

If you are worried, and it's a school to which you applied last cycle, you might want to talk to them about retracting that document or qualifying it.

My law school was very clear that any potential C&F issues must be disclosed. I'd rather disclose and say for x, y, z reasons it was expunged. That stuff will come up on bar C&F stuff and so it's mainly to ensure you'll be able to sit for the bar, I think.
