Risk Analysts Needed

Which carries more risk:

Staying top 5 student with law review at a third tier school in FL, upper classmen say the top 10 students get most of the interviews they want and most of them end up working a biglaw summer associate job

Transferring to Florida or FSU but not having law review and having grades start over. I'm confident I would still do pretty well at either school but you never know

So I know TLS is risk averse... what would you all do?

P.S. Bonus question: If I transferred, what would the OCI process be like at my new school? For transfers in general?

I graduated from FSU, my opinion depends on where you go. If you are top 5 at Nova/Stetson I'd stay and get money... if you go to coastal or Barry or some bullshit I might consider transferring. If you think you can get biglaw stay put, biglaw SA classes in FL are slim to nonexistent.

Sidenote: the vast majority of TLS employment forum crowd is T14 or bust northeast/west market. Very few people here can give you a credible analysis of the FL legal market or FL law schools.
