<p>I don't know why you think going to Oregon or Oregon State would be so bad. Why go through all the trouble of moving, transfering multiple times and paying out of state tuition when you can pay in state tuition for two good school in your own state. If you work hard and do well at one of those schools and then do well on the LSATS you'll be in fine shape for law school. Don't get caught up in prestige hype. As far as your chances, unless you move to California and go to a CCC, I think you have very little chance of getting into either Cal or UCLA. I'm not sure what Stanford's take on CC is, but I assume they don't take too man, so its a long shot there as well. That said, do whatever makes you feel happy and apply to ever school you like. Can't hurt.</p>
<p>Crud I just realized I had a half-thought/slash sentence up there. In any case it's:</p>
<p>"I'd suggest planning out your..." schedule before beginning CC..because it's a real big pain to take classes that aren't transferrable, aren't helpful, etc.</p>
<p>I have definitely decided not to move to California for the CCC advantage. I think it would be better for my family and I both if we stayed put until I transfer to a 4 year school. With that being said, while I am definitely going to apply to some great (Ivy included) schools, I would be more than happy with Oregon State or U of O. I have found out through some research that getting into a good law school is (for the most part), a numbers game. Rather than concentrate on getting into the best undergrand school possible, I will take that time to keep up my 4.0 and ace the LSAT! :)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your comments, I appreciate them! :)</p>
<p>From what i've seen from my sister, a current grad school applicant, it's extremely helpful to take any that may increase your reading comprehension skills. The reading comp part of the LSAT is extremely difficult for the untrained eye. Logic, philosophy, and other similar classes may help in this area.</p>
