Every summer, several hundred law students finish their 1L year and apply to transfer to other law schools. In many cases, their goal is simply to get into a higher-ranked institution to help their career prospects. I'm sure many VC readers have been there.

  So here's a request: If you are a current or former law student who transferred to a higher ranked school to help your career prospects, please consider describing your experience in the comment thread. I'm particularly interested in knowing whether you are glad you transferred; whether the new school was what you expected; and whether you think the decision to transfer helped or didn't help your career prospects.

  I also welcome any detail you're comfortable giving about the school you transferred to or from (or other relevant bio information) to help readers in that boat today get some context. But I leave that up to individual commenters. Thanks!
