<p>Hey guys, new here. I currently attend a 4 year college where I live, the College of Staten Island. Not a great school but a okay school. It's one of those schools that have a bad rep but at the same time you get what you give out of it.</p>

<p>I really want to transfer. I just started my 3rd semester and it's my dream to dorm. I obviously stay at home where I am since the college is 2 minutes from my house.</p>

<p>I average about a 3.8 GPA and I've held a steady job for almost 4 years now. I'm majoring in History and minoring in Political Science. I want to pursue a law degree.</p>

<p>1.) Want are my chances looking like getting into Princeton, NYU, Columbia, Penn St. and Boston College?
2.) What are some colleges I should pursue with my GPA and my aspiration for a law degree?</p>

<p>Thanks guys!!</p>

<p>1 - I know off the top of my head P’ton doesn’t accept transfers. Google “Common Data Set College name” and look at section D to see what the Us are looking at for transfers and the number who were accepted. Can your family afford $60K/year because that’s what some of those schools will cost?
2 - The two most important things for law school are your GPA and your LSAT score. Go where you can do well and keep the costs down because it costs a ton of money to get a law degree.</p>

<p>You should consider SUNY instead of Penn State, lower cost, same results. </p>
