Hey yall.
Im a transfer student, my gpa is really decent and all, but it looks as if ill be spending 5 years in undergrad instead of four. My extra year has provided me with the opportunity to rack up some considerable Extra curriculars, and reake the lsat. will law schools count that as a negative, unfair advantage over an applicant who spent, say, 3 or 4 years in undergrad?

no advantage and no disadvantage in the eyes of the adcomm (once you explain it was because of transferring). use the extra year to take a bunch of classes where you can get guaranteed A's to prop up your LSAC gpa.
