What grades do you need to transfer down? Can I be below median/bottom third at a t20 and get into a school ranked 30-40?

Probably, but why would you want to do that?

Location and family

Yeah you shouldn't do that. You don't know your grades yet, for one. Second, you likely kill whatever chance you have of getting a job at a firm. Third, you lose whatever scholarships you're getting.

Tough it out. It's just two more years. Work both summers back home.

It could be a good idea if you figure out how to take exam, because transferring gives you a clean slate, so you can make, say top 5%, in your 2L year at your new school and apply for firm job in your 3L.
