미국로스쿨 편입에 대한 통계자료 분석 - 2023년 Juris Doctor편입 결과

USLAW101 2023. 12. 24. 17:24

이번 포스팅은 "미국 로스쿨 편입, JD Transfer"에 대한 이야기를 해보도록 하겠습니다. 우리가 JD Transfer이라고 한다면 크게 두가지로 나눕니다. 1)같은 학교 LLM 졸업자가 그 학교 JD 2L로 편입하는 것. 2)한 학교 JD학생이 다른 학교 JD로 편입하는 것을 의미합니다.

 

만약 LLM을 하고 있는 학생 중에 JD로 넘어가는 것에 관심있다면 1)번에 관심을 두고 있을 것입니다. 그리고 학교 Ranking을 높이고 싶은 JD학생이라면 2)번에 관심이 생길 것입니다. 실제 학교 생활을 하면 Transfer에 대한 이야기를 나누기 때문에 익숙한 주제라고 볼 수 있습니다.

 

2023년 JD Transfer 통계 자료는 아래와 같습니다.

JD편입을 가장 많이 받아주는 학교가 조지타운 로스쿨임을 알 수 있습니다. 그리고 조지워싱턴 로스쿨도 2번째로 많이 받아주는 것을 확인할 수 있습니다. 일단 많이 받아준다는 이야기는 1L을 마친 입장에서 기회가 많다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 실제 통계자료에서는 75th, 50th, 25th를 나눠서 보여주고 있기 때문에 GPA 성적을 좀 더 다양하게 볼 수 있습니다. 저는 일단 50%를 기준으로 정리했습니다.

 

일단 Transfer가 되면 장학금 혜택은 없어지기 때문에 잘 판단하고 이동해야 합니다. 본인이 이미 받고 있는 금전적 혜택과 학교 편입을 통해 얻는 이익이 어떤지 한번 살펴보면 좋을 것 같습니다.

 

LLM을 마친 후 JD편입을 하는 경우, 학교마다 기준이 있습니다. 학교마다 다르지만 일반적으로 4.0만점에 최소 3.3이상 성적을 요구하는 경우가 많습니다. LLM에서 JD 편입을 할 때 학점을 잘 받는 것이 중요하기 때문에 성적을 잘 받는 교수님을 만나는 것이 중요합니다. 이 부분은 제 블로그 포스팅에서 이미 다루고 있으니 한번 살펴보시면 도움이 될 것 같습니다. 만약 유료 상담이 필요하다면 따로 연락 주시면 됩니다.

 

 

감사합니다.
