other 2, do you think I could transfer to a Top 20 program after 1L if I had a 2.5 UG gpa?

after your 1L only your grades and class ranking matter. You also need exceptional letters of recommendation from your professors. Your best lsat may be a soft. That being said, its very unpredictable to transfer. UG means nothing- schools care about law grades not undergrad.

Don't take the LSAT again. That's just silly.

please don't depend on transferring. the odds of you placing at the top of your class at a T2 are not good, and law grades are surprisingly arbitrary.

To be fair, how would you know?

No no, and not in an anecdotal sense. I'm talking in a "Yea, at my..." fashion.

Because gunning for 2 months is a B and 8 hours of sleep deprived cramming is an A.

Apparently one can go to an Ivy league school and still make silly mistakes. Don't worry, I won't hold them against you. Let this be a learning experience.

In no way does one have to experience something in order to have knowledge on the subject. This is one of the silliest arguments that comes up from time to time, and goes against the entire idea of higher education, let alone common sense. It is quite easy, and commonplace, to study a subject (such as law school or law school admissions) without actually going through the process.

BrownBears09's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:

A) Mistakes something that is necessary to bring about a situation with something that in itself is enough to bring about that situation.
B) Trades on an inherent ambiguity in its use of the term 'school'.
C) States that one event caused another even though the second event preceded the first.
D) Infers that since two things are similar in one respect, they must be similar in another respect.
E) Dismisses an argument's proposals because of their source rather than because of their substance.

True story. Instead of law, did you pursue into politics?

After looking around their website, I haven't come across anything that says you can't. There is also potential to go FT after your first year. Call to be sure I suppose.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
