Thanks for all the advice to everyone who posted in here

If you'd be fine with Boston or the east coast, I would stay put. Maybe I'm wrong, but right now you seem to be a shoe-in for a top Boston firm like Ropes / WilmerHale / Goodwin Proctor. And BC fairs pretty well in NYC too, right? I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be competitive for a V15 there.

If you want academia or to work in biglaw in the midwest / on the west coast, it might be worth it. But otherwise, eh. You're getting good money.

Just seems like there's a few kids I know of who did very well but have nothing through OCI. Even top 20% seems hit or miss

How good is a 3.9? At a lot of schools, that would be the top 2 percent of the class. Also, if you transferred from BC to UChi, you can essentially cross Boston off of the places you could get a job.

It's tough to say because they don't rank, but 2% is probably about right. Last year's 5% cutoff was 3.70 at the end of 1L. Cutting off Boston is obviously a tough decision to make as well.

No need to ED to Chi. You will almost certainly get one of CCN after next semester unless your grades drop significantly, and you'll have a pretty good shot at HLS.

Apply to Harvard if you finish well within the top 5% & want Boston to remain as an option. However, if you fear moving out of the top 5% by year's end, then Chicago ED is your best option, in my opinion.

hls or no dice if you want boston.

Check your PMs.

hls or no dice if you want boston.

I would say HLS or no dice in general if you're top 2% at BC. Unless you are from the Midwest and want to work out there, transferring out of your current market would generally be a poor decision. You clearly are comfortable in Boston since you did so well; no reason to leave all of your friends/connections.

[ToTransferOrNot]

I wouldn't blow your shot at HYS for Chicago ED, especially since you want to stay on the east coast. If you were 100% committed to being in Chicago, it would be a closer call, but even then your class rank is too high and your school is too high in the rankings to justify losing the HYS shot.
