Multiple Undergraduate Schools
So once I graduate I will have attended 3 different colleges. A large state university for 3 semesters, a community college for 1 semester, and then another lesser known state university for the last 4 semesters. How much will this hurt my chances of admission to t-14 schools?

Re: Multiple Undergraduate Schools
Why did you have all those changes? If it was for reasons such as getting kicked out, failing out, etc; then, yeah, it will hurt your chances. How much correlating to how bad the offenses were.
Otherwise, if you moved and transferred then it will come down to GPA/LSAT like everyone else. Hopefully you have some recommenders lined up at the schools that can write really good letters for you. I know sometimes that can be a problem when you move around a bit.

Re: Multiple Undergraduate Schools
It has nothing to do with getting kicked out or anything. I just developed severe anxiety at the first school and couldn't be on campus without becoming anxious. I still got a 3.7 while there though. I had to go to the community college because the only college at the large coty near me that I could afford only does fall transfers.Barack O'Drama wrote:Why did you have all those changes?

You should be ok, perhaps more concerned with getting the anxiety under control. Sounds like you're on the right path. I hope so anyway. Did you leave mid-semester and get any punitive withdrawals? If not, then you should be alright. I feel you on the anxiety though man, it can get really bad, especially in new places. I went to college in a completely new town out of high school where I knew no one. I would be scared/anxious to leave the damn house most days.

It won't hurt you. It's not even that unusual.

Re: Multiple Undergraduate Schools
GPA's from each school will be factored into your LSAC GPA, but I don't think it will hurt you honestly.
