<p>OK so here's my situation. This is my 3rd year in college and I'm transferring to a 4 year school after this semester. (At this point, it looks likely to be UNC-Chapel Hill as my professors this semester are ruining my chances of transferring into Georgetown). </p>
<p>I'm a Puerto Rican male and I really want to get into a top law school for the fall 2013 semester. </p>
<p>I spent my first year of school at a decent LAC in New York City where I had a 3.65 GPA. (Only took 9 courses there, got 1 B, 2 B+'s, 3 A-'s and 3 A's; all 3 credit courses)</p>
<p>I've spent the last 2 years at community college where I currently have a 3.89 GPA here. I've taken 15 courses here. 13 of those courses were 3 credit courses and 2 of them were 4 credit courses. I have gotten 14 A's and 1 B- so far.</p>
<p>This semester I'm in trouble because 2 of my professors just don't seem to like me very much and think I have some sort of elitist attitude. I'm absolutely serious. On my first exam in my computer programming class I got an 85 even though my program was flawless and I wrote excellent essays for the written portion.
For my composition course I got a B on the first paper even though the paper was excellent. I even submitted it to E-Tutor and the person who commented said it was an outstanding paper. This professor is a hippie in every sense of the word and he despises technology and anyone interested in making money instead of changing the world. In my other 3 courses, I safely have a 100 average. So I could be looking at a B-B+ for Programming Fundamentals and a B+ for Composition II.</p>
<p>My only "bad" grades so far have been:
B in Political Philosophy (Taken at my first school, the LAC and a very questionable grade)
B- in General Chemistry I (Taken at my CC) </p>
<p>And i guess now we could add potentially two more B's at CC. </p>
<p>I really want to put myself into a position to attend a Top Law School (particularly Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Penn, Columbia, Chicago).
I had wanted to attend Yale, but even with my URM status, given all the B's on my academic record and the fact that I'm not a Fulbright or Rhodes Scholar, I think it'll be impossible without a near perfect LSAT. </p>
<p>Do you think these grades this semester are going to kill me when I apply to a Harvard Law School or a Stanford Law School in 2 years? I'm looking at potential B's in courses I would be getting A's in with any other professor.
If I do get a B+ in both Programming and Composition, I have calculated my cumulative GPA for the 1 year at the LAC and the 2 years at CC as a 3.79.</p>
<p>Will that look awful regardless of what kind of LSAT scores I can register? Especially if I'm not able to pull 4.0's when I transfer to an elite school this fall?</p>
