I am amazed to be writing this, but you said your college GPA is a 3.8- any chance you are selling yourself short?
If you have finished 1st year of college, and are thinking of going to the UK in Sept 2022, that would mean finishing in spring 2025, finish SQE in spring 2026, start work in autumn 2026- 5 years from now. (on a side note, how do your parents feel about paying for an extra year of college + supporting you through SQEs? even with a training contract you will find it hard to support yourself in London w/o extra $$)
Or, finish college in the US in 2024, finish US law school* in 2027- 6 years from now. Not a massive difference.
*Or, finish college in the US in 2024, do what most students getting into the top tier schools do and go to work for one of the big law firms for 2 years (earning lots of $$), getting experience, getting good LoRs and studying for the LSAT and go to a top tier law school on your parent’s dime.
