<p>I'm going to the University of Tampa which is not a bad school, but obviously not top prestige. I was wondering if I should consider transferring solely to raise my chances of getting into a top law school or as long as I maintain a 3.7+ GPA and do good on my LSAT's then there is no need to worry about transferring.</p>
<p>Extra info, I’m still a freshman (sophomore next semester)
I heard that law school’s discourage pre-law, but in the case of my school (UTampa) I think the pre-law professional program is actually a good program because all it does is set me up with a pre-law advisor who helps me with getting into law school and finding all the requirements etc… I do not take any law courses and it is not a pre-law major, instead I still stick with my major of choice (philosophy).</p>
<p>more info here: [The</a> University of Tampa - Tampa, Florida - Pre-Law Professional Program](<a href=“http://www.ut.edu/detail.aspx?id=2628&terms=pre-law&fragment=&SearchType=&terms=pre-law]The”>http://www.ut.edu/detail.aspx?id=2628&terms=pre-law&fragment=&SearchType=&terms=pre-law)</p>
<p>if anybody here could help me and confirm that this will not be detrimental when applying to law school then please do so. Your help is definitely appreciated :)</p>
<p>Your best bet would be to go to the career services office at your school to see what law schools graduates from your school were accepted at/matriculated to.</p>
<p>a pre-law assistance program is fine. They just don’t like the pre-law MAJOR.</p>
<p>Regarding your undergrad prestige, it will not matter except at the elite small schools: Yale and Stanford. Harvard has a large class size so it is easier to break in from a “lesser” school. </p>
<p>If you want specific LSAT numbers for H:</p>
<p>3.7: 177+
3.8: 175+
3.9: 173+</p>
<p>I would focus on keeping your GPA up, and if you manage to get a 99th percentile score, things are looking good for the top schools.</p>
<p>Thanks BostonEng, that really helped</p>
