Left law degree - do I still need to apply as a transfer?

<p>**tl:dr - UK student leaving British law degree due to compelling personal reasons having only successfully completed first year; would I still have to apply to US colleges as a transfer student even if they don't offer legal modules/law is a postgrad subject at US universities? Would the only difference be that I get no transfer credit?</p>

<p>Am not applying till next year, btw - am doing APs etc. first to get grades up again.**</p>

<p>I'm a UK student who's had to leave my law degree at a British university due to certain extreme personal circumstances all through my degree. My degree path here was as follows:</p>

<p>-Finished my first year </p>

<p>-At the end of my second year, switched to a slightly different law so effectively redid second year last year, doing mostly law modules and two foreign language modules</p>

<p>-Had to resit some modules this summer and decided to drop out (so I still haven't completed second year either) in order to reapply to UK universities and possibly US colleges next year for admission the following year (I'm going to do some more A-levels/APs etc. first to show I'm still capable of getting the kind of grades I got before university)</p>

<p>Given that I've only successfully completed one year of university (in a law degree, which I understand most US colleges don't offer at undergrad level), though still enrolled on full-time study, would I still have to apply as a transfer student? Does a law degree count as a "vocational" program? </p>

<p>Harvard, for example, requires applicants to transfer from "a liberal arts degree," which I'm pretty sure a law degree isn't. So is Harvard off the cards?</p>

<p>You need to contact each of the colleges/universities on your list, and ASK each of them whether you need to apply as a transfer applicant or as a freshman. They will tell you.</p>

<p>In either case, you will need to provide official records of all of your university level studies in the UK.</p>

<p>Candidates who have completed a full year of post-HS college are considered transfer applicants at ANY US college. Absolutely call each school and ask.</p>
