Transfer Students

Transfer students are reviewed according to ABA standards, in that applicants applying as transfer students from an ABA accredited institution must be in good standing and eligible to return to that institution as documented by an official transcript and letter of good standing. Generally, a 2.5 law GPA is required for consideration.  Additionally, LSAT scores and undergraduate GPA are reviewed by the committee.

Transfer students must also follow all other standard application procedures, including:

(1) a completed and signed application;

(2) personal statement (2-3 pages in length describing your interest/motivation for studying law);

(3) LSDAS report including two letters of recommendation;

(4) $50 application fee; and

(5) letter of good standing from prior law school. 

Transfers may apply to begin their studies at Barry law after at least one academic year of coursework has been completed at the prior law school. 

Admitted students may transfer credits from ABA accredited law schools for those courses in which they have earned a grade of “C” or higher. Grades of “C–” or lower will not be accepted for transfer credit.
