@polyscidreamer I would not take them again since you probably haven’t been keeping up with your math, right? If you don’t need them, you don’t need them. Probably talking to your college’s people will give you a better sense of your transfer prospects. The relationships are often informal and not formal agreements. They might have a sense of your chances (like that prof from Cornell). Did you finish your degree part-time or in two years? I would ask how that would affect your chances.
Here is the list of undergraduate colleges respresented at Harvard Law School

The transfer in rate for Hamilton has changed since I last looked and I thank the person who updated me. It has been going down in recent years. This past year they accepted 25 of 107 women transfer applicants. In the two years before that it was 30%. I made a mistake in typing before.
Have you considered Wesleyan? 1) it has excellent FA; 2) like Vassar and Amherst it seems to have a socially driven objective in addition to academic, meaning that it may really like your pattern of achievement, your interests, and your background; 3) it’s a top school; 4) the transfer acceptance rate is as follows 90 out of 284 women applicants. or 31% acceptance rate. In 2016-2017 for your family’s income bracket the average price there was about $7500 total including R&B. https://www.wesleyan.edu/gov/
Also – Rhodes in Tennessee is often overlooked and has excellent record for law school admissions at top schools. The average for your income bracket in 2016-17 was about $13K per year inclusive. The transfer in rate was 16%.
You can find the average cost for your income bracket for each school by looking on the website called College Navigator, a government site. Click on your school name and then on “net price”. To get a closer idea of what a school will cost you, use the net price calculator.
With respect to law school admissions, anyone with a college degree can get admitted to several law schools as there are about 203 ABA accredited law schools in the US with admission standards that range from “ultra-competitive” to “come on down”. The key is to be admitted to a US News Top 14 law school and/or to be admitted to a law school with a full or near full tuition scholarship.
One’s LSAT score & one’s undergraduate GPA are the most important factors in law school admissions. A degree from any college or university will suffice so long as your LSAT score & undergraduate GPA are at or above a particular law school’s medians for matriculated students.
This statement is incorrect:
Barnard is need-aware for transfers and will not give aid to spring transfers. Barnard meets full need for domestic fall transfers it accepts.
