Hello everyone! I would like to know how to transfer after completing your first year from an ABA-APPROVED LAW SCHOOL. Based on my research, schools don't pay much attention to your LSAT as much as they would if you were an incoming first year law student. Some schools website stated that the admissions criteria is based on the student's first year academic standing, if the student finished the first year as one of the top students in their class, a dean's letter stating a record of good standing and the students class ranking but did not state any emphasis on the LSAT score, however, requests the copy of the LSDAS report.
I just got accepted from Cooley with 141 lsat score and a 3.60 gpa with a 25% honors scholarship offer. So far, for me this is good since this is the first acceptance letter I received. However, I was shooting to attend school here in Southern California but with my LSAT score - I'm getting rejected everywhere (of course, it's pretty obvious - It is a bad score). I was thinking of maybe accepting the offer and try to aim high in my first year at Cooley and maybe transfer out back to Southern California and finish off my law school here. Do you guys think I have any chances of getting accepted in Cali? Perhaps, Southwestern or Loyola? ---- I considered re-taking the LSAT to see what score I'll can get but I don't want to waste another year of waiting to be in law school. Time goes by so fast....

PS: I also know that it is not good to have this plan of transferring out... as some of you would say - this is a bad start. But I just want to have all the options I might have in order for me to know how to move forward. THANKS ALOT!!!!
