eptar32: no one seems to have addressed one of your central concerns: your GPA’s effect on your law school acceptance. Bottom line is law schools do put your GPA and LSAT scores into a formula and determine your suitability for admission based, at least initially, on only those two numbers. (Although LSAT is generally weighted more heavily.) I think boosting your GPA as much as you can before you transfer is a great idea. I had terrible grades for the first two years of college and very good grades the last two years. Those first two years’ grades came back to haunt me because the law school admissions service takes into account ALL your college and community college grades. My advice: try and boost your GPA as much as possible.
