I guess they have easier acceptance though. Which tier? How do you find that out? Kent is ranked #92 and Loyola is ranked #113. So that's 20 rankings better but obviously Loyola is more prestigious and it was my goal to go there. Transferring is a risky but available option. People in your situation that can do really well that first year can usually transfer up the ranks a bit to improve where they graduate from. The risk is that you have to do really well (top 10% at the least) to have a chance. Its a better option when you are in a T1 school already but it is something to consider. Going to a bad law school isn't the end of the world unless you accumulate a ton of debt doing it. Some bad tier schools are dead ends and just leave kids with 6 figures of debt and no real job prospects. Others do a bit better regionally and will help you end up with a job but you will start at the shit end of the legal world and have to deal with the "where did you go to school" question for the rest of your career. --- ********************************************** http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg <cite>whitelytning posted [p:895964390] in Just got n...
