<p>Hello. I'm thinking of transferring from my current school at the end of next year to a better school. I'm doing well in school here and I believe I'll have the numbers to get into a top 10 or so law school. Would you guys stick it out here so you could give yourself the best chance for a top tier law school or take a gamble and go to a better school and hope you do well. Also, can recommendations for law school be from professors from the school you transferred from? I can elaborate on the situation if anybody needs any clarification.</p>

<li><p>You should go to school where you want to go to school. Your LSAT, if it's high enough for top law schools, will usually override small differences in GPA, and if it isn't high enough for top law schools, then a small difference in GPA probably won't help you. These are just generalizations, but presumably you'll do decently wherever you're at school, so go where you think you'll be happy and don't worry about it. The beleif that it's easier to do well at "easier" schools is sometimes true, but is surprisingly often a myth (which is not to say anything either way about educational quality).</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, recommendations can be from professors from the school you transferred from (each school will give its own stipulations and I don't remember whether or not any made specific requests for <em>current</em> institution, but even if they did, you wouldn't need more than one to satisfy that, so your other(s) could come from elsewhere).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck :-)</p>
