Transfer Students (Admission With Advanced Standing)
An applicant for admission with advanced standing must have attended a law school that is approved by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. Depending upon the credits and scope of courses taken compared with Brooklyn Law School’s required first-year program of study, students admitted with advanced standing may transfer up to 35 credits earned at another law school.

Typically, the most serious consideration is given to transfer applicants who offer numeric and other credentials that would have been competitive for admission to the class they seek to join and who currently maintain a cumulative weighted average of approximately 3.00 (B) or better at their prior law school.

Transfer applicants must complete the Law School’s application for admission. Transfer applications should be submitted by early June and all law school grades should be submitted by early July, for purposes of admission the following fall.

Additional materials are required from applicants applying for admission with advanced standing. Please visit the "How to Apply" section of our Web site for specific documentary requirements and application forms.

No action will be taken on a transfer application until all required documents have been submitted to the Admissions Office. In many such cases, decisions are not rendered until mid-summer due to delays in receiving transcripts that contain an applicant's grades for courses taken at the prior law school in the previous spring term.
