<p>IE, if someone wants to transfer to your college as a junior from a CC, where this student had a 4.0, awesome recs, and great, engaged ECs, and then there's another guy who went to Yale who has a 3.0 or so and no good recs or ECs, will the Yale guy get in over the CC guy because he went to Yale? How much of an impact does this have, both in transfers and in applying for graduate school? Even if you do your very best and do extremely well in all facets of your education, but you went to an ehhhh school for money reasons (or something else you couldn't really help), are you kind of doomed?</p>

Probably not, but realize that it’s an unlikely scenario.</p>
<p>Most applicants from Yale wouldn’t have bad GPAs, recs, or ecs. They didn’t get into Yale by being lazy.</p>
<p>That’s true. I’m just wondering if I’m going to have trouble getting into top 10 law schools because I’m going to end up spending the first two years of my college education at a so-so institution.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. 1. You’ll be able to transfer to a good university, hopefully your state flagship. Chances are your flagship has some articulation arrangements with CCs in the state. 2. LSAT scores are pretty much what matters in law school admissions. 3. A lot can change between now and graduation and you may decide to do something besides law. It happens. A lot!</p>
<p>Alright, thanks. I just want to make sure I’m not screwing myself over. Actually, I’m not at a CC, I’m just at a very average normal university.</p>
