Chances of going from T4 to T14?

Hello,
I am currently at a T4 school with a 4.1 GPA (fall/spring grades). 4 CALI's, part of several honors programs, won multiple intramural competitions, and currently externing for a very prestigious, well-known federal judge.
What are my chances of getting into T14? HYS?
Thank you guys for your input!

T4 seems pretty low to get HYS.. you have a shot at other T14 though

How is it that you already have spring grades and are externing? Are you a 2L?

I see. Thank you for your input. How good of a shot do you think I have for T14? What about schools around T14, like UCLA/USC?

In a way, yes. My situation is very unique, and I know my school habitually visits TLS, so I don't want to get too detailed. But you could say I'm a 1.5L.

(I'm just a 1L planning to transfer, but I have done a lot of research). I'd say you'll get in at GULC. UCLA/USC arent too hard to get into, check out the 2015 509s for them.

It's hard to say what shot you have. Apply broadly to the t14, work hard on your applications (especially your personal statements), and hope for the best. And it can't hurt to apply to schools around the t14 (Texas, USC, UCLA, WUSTL, Vandy, etc.) if you'd be willing to attend one of those schools.
Just keep in mind the debt you'll be taking on. I think you'll likely get into GULC. Beyond that, I don't know. It's hard to project TTTT students even with outstanding grades likes yours.

How many credits do you have? Some schools will not let you apply to transfer if you have taken courses beyond 1L.

If you have more than 33 credits, then you pretty much can't transfer anywhere

Where do you guys see that? I looked at a few T-14, including HYS. They cap the amount of units they accept, but they don't bar you completely from transferring if you take more than that. They just won't accept beyond their limit.

Pro tip: call HLS admissions and just ask
