Top Law Schools

I'm deciding between Cornell, Texas, GULC, and UCLA for 1L and I'm hoping to transfer to top 3. What school would give me the best chance to be accepted as a transfer student? Also, what would my grades/class rank have to be to have a good chance to get in?

Retake.

Seriously. Being top 5-10% of your class in law school is infinitely harder than doing better on the LSAT. Don't assume that ever.

if you do well enough at cornell to transfer you won't need to

You're not allowed to ask about transferring here until you have law school grades back.
