Individual class rank is not computed. Yale does not require students to submit copies of their transcripts in order to participate in on-campus interviews. We advise students that most employers will request a transcript at some point in the recruiting process. Even for this purpose, it has significant limitations and is therefore only one of a number of factors considered in our admissions process. Each year the law school accepts into the second-year class several transfer students who have performed outstanding work at another law school.
Transfer students are superbly qualified.
Student Activities Student activities in law school add measurably to the quality and depth of legal education and professional competence. The extensive range of activities at Yale Law School provides excellent training in legal writing, research, and representation of clients. We encourage you to consider these activities in evaluating a student's record. Membership in Yale student organizations is open to all students and does not reflect relative academic standing.
