I went to a local state school, transferred to flagship state school for sophomore year, mainly for prestiege reasons

…then transferred to USC (now junior year) because i thought International relations was my real interest, and my state school didnt have it. However, i was also accepted to UNC chapel hill at this time, and my family qualifies for their full need scholarship…

USC’s cost is really somewhat challenging, since a parent is having trouble with employment. the UNC chapel hill need based aid would be fantastic for my family situation…

So timeline is: State->Flagship State-> USC->??UNC??

the big dilemma is that i want to go to law school, and i’m afraid that law schools will see me as a flaky candidate that hops schools all the time and be afraid to admit me. my gpa is about 3.8 overall. Additionally, my parents are somewhat fed up (as am I) with me swapping schools every year…I really dont know how they would react however, considering i want them to save money
