This has been weighing on me heavily and I need advice.

I’m a sophomore undergrad at Georgia Southern University. I have amazing friends and a great social life, not to mention I love the school. But I want to go to law school and I’ll do whatever it takes even if that means transferring so that my application looks better. I’m very sad about it because I don’t want to leave Georgia Southern but I might need to. With that being said, does where I graduate from matter THAT much to law schools or am I over thinking it? I’ve heard people say that a 3.0 from UGA looks better than a 4.0 from Ga Southern, but I don’t know how much truth that statement really holds.

If transferring IS the best thing for me to do, I’m wondering if I should go to UGA or Ga Tech. I’m a business major, by the way. I know that the Terry College of Business is great and Ga Tech is amazing for any major. I worry about tech though because I know I have the academic means to be accepted but I’m not sure if I could last there.

Someone please help This has been the only thing on my mind for months and I need answers.
