Apply broadly and you have a very good shot at making the jump.

look at case western. They take a lot of transfers from T4s.

You will get in somewhere. I have a buddy that transferred from Detroit-Mercy to Chicago-Kent. Remember, those schools need to fill all the spots left open by the people who transfer out.

If you're going to transfer, figure out where you want to practice and then apply to every school in that region with better job prospects than your current school.

This. Trasnferring to move up from a t4-->t2 doesn't make a lot of sense unless the school you transfer to is in the region you want to be in. In other words, the transfer shouldn't be only to move up in terms of the USNews ranking.
