<p>However, one potential pitfall you may face is that 2L OCI (which may determine whether or not you get an offer after graduation) takes place at the very beginning of the term. You will be unranked at your new school with no gpa, which could hurt you when it comes to getting interviews (especially if firms that you are looking at don’t recruit at your tier3/tier4 school. Also if you are doing write on for law review/journal this also takes place at the same time. It is just a lot to undertake on the hope that you will finish in the top 5% (which is not guaranteed).</p>
<p>I still believe that you should just sit it out, study for the LSAT and reapply. If you can hit the 160’s, you would move up into a whole different range of schools, even with $$.</p>
