  • Transfers, Reapplicants, and Life Conversations: A Deans’ Roundtable
    Jun 30 2025

    With one admissions cycle closing and another about to open, Tajira McCoy and her panel of law school deans field a series of questions many applicants consider at this point of the admissions cycle:

    When does it make sense to reapply in the coming admissions cycle (and do I really need to change my personal statement)?

    What if I decide to attend the best school that admitted me and then try to transfer next year?

    What are the considerations for transfer admission, especially given new trends in legal recruitment?

    And, heck, have you ever wondered why you’re doing this Our deans’ give advice to their past selves about the doors and opportunities a legal education will open for them.

    All that - and more - is covered in the latest roundtable. And don’t forget that for help with all things related to LSAT prep and law school admissions, you can check us out at 7Sage.com.

We also look ahead to the coming cycle and some of the broader national trends that may affect future law applicants.
