Harvard Law Transfer Statistics
Here is everything you need to know about the Harvard Law transfer statistics for the last five years. All 1L students thinking about transferring to Harvard Law School need to read this article.

Total Harvard Law Transfer Students Per Year

Harvard Law accepts a high number of transfer students every year. Here’s a breakdown of the total number of students who transferred to Harvard Law from 2015-19.

  • 2015: 55
  • 2016: 36
  • 2017: 40
