DO NOT GO TO LAW SCHOOL PLANNING TO TRANSFER. (your odds at being able to do so successfully are slim). Do not go unless you would be happy graduating from there. What is your total cost of attendance to attend Brooklyn?
Also, if you think you under-performed on the LSAT, you should probably retake it.

In order to transfer to any school worth transferring to, you will need to at least be in the top 10% of your class. (you have a 90% chance of not being in the top 10% of your class)
Also, transfer students rarely get any kind of scholarship money.

This. 1000x this. OP, go poke around the transfers forum and see what kind of stats it takes to transfer from a T2 to T14 (usually the lowest transfer that is worth it). You're looking at being at least top 10% probably closer to top 5%. It's fine to have aspirations of transferring but

I just figured out that people on this forum have no idea how to tell when someone is trolling.
