<p>Testing for understanding…</p>
<p>You have recently been accepted into a T10 law school - Congrats.</p>
<p>Ultimately, you would like to attend Harvard or Stanford.</p>
<p>Since the cycle is not over yet, why don’t you apply now and see how the process plays itself out.</p>
<p>I would agree about not going into law school with the thought of transferring (by the time you start doing the paperwork, you will have had a full year of law school under your belt and may feel differently.If you do not allow your self to be fully engaged, because in the back of your mind you are thinking about transferring, I think it will be reflected in your work and you may miss opportunities to connect with your professors (whose recommendations you will need).</p>
<p>Harvard states that they have taken 25 students over the past 2 years.</p>

<p>It seems as if your chances would be better if you just applied and see how things shake out. If you are admitted, the decision will be made. If you are waitlisted, send in your letter of continued interest and any other new information. When you re-apply at least you could say that you were waitlisted. This coupled with a stellarfirst year record may increase your chances.</p>
<p>Harvard requires the following of its transfer applicants:</p>
<p>A personal statement which should address your reasons for applying for transfer admission. A need to be located in the Cambridge area may be relevant and should be discussed in your personal statement if applicable. Harvard may not think your reasons; your "aiming for the absolute best’ and your wanting to grab the gold will be considered really good reasons for transferring.</p>
