<p>I take that with a sigh of relief. I also just spoke with admissions at USC and the Dean of admissions at UCLA. Basically, if you are in the top 5% it doesn’t matter if you are coming from a tier 3 school especially if you have good credentials behind you. The LSAT, they say, is no longer a factor. I will be 31 when I enter law school and to wait another year only makes life that much harder. I am willing to take my chances at transferring — I was doubted by many people about how I would perform at Penn and I am now one of the top 4 graduating students in my class. As long as I keep that determination flowing, I’ll pull it off. Keep your eyes on this post next summer and see what happens. </p>
<p>Thanks for all the encouragement and advice.</p>
