Hello all. I just finished my first semester at Florida Coastal School of Law (a tier 4) and earned a 3.49 GPA on a 2.5 curve. Although the school doesn't rank until after my first full year, I suspect I'm at least top 15%. I am applying to FSU law for a transfer for the Fall of 2014. What do you all think my chances of acceptance are? Thanks for any and all advice!

Further, what do you think my ranking is?

This is what NALP has it as for the 2013 graduating class:

MINIMUM GRADE REQUIRED TO ATTAIN (Based on May 2013 graduation class)
Top 10%: 3.33
Top 25%: 3.09
Top 33%: 2.96
Top 50%: 2.74
Top 75%: 2.50

That's rough.
ETA: That puts you pretty handily above top 10%, so I'd say you have a good chance.

Why only FSU? you're well within the top 10%, maybe even top 5%. using http://mylsn.info/rank-estimator/ it comes out as around 5%. In that case, aim higher. Maybe even GULC, though long shot.
