<p>I've recently been going back and forth between the ideas of graduating early (spring 2010) with a degree in Spanish or transferring to a higher quality school to perhaps double major in Spanish and Economics. After either of these options I plan on going to law school. </p>
<p>Secondly, I go to the University of Northern Iowa (I couldn't make a decision as to where I wanted to go so I stuck with the school in my hometown), and I am currently a second year junior. I had an overall GPA of 3.94 during my first actual year of university (3.87 first semester, 4.00 second semester). And this semester I'm on track to get another 4. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, my high school record isn't as aesthetically pleasing as that from college:
GPA: 3.65 unweighted
AP's: 2 (HS only offered 4 or 5)
ACT: 32 (32 in all areas) with an 11 on the writing section</p>
<p>So, the question is this: is it even a possibility for me to get in a school such as the University of Pennsylvania or Cornell? These are two schools that interest me, and I'd like to see what everyone else thinks. Also, what would be the best schools to which I'd have a legitimate chance at being accepted?</p>
<p>Cornell--I'd say you have a great shot; Upenn--maybe not so much. But I'd be more concerned about attending a school with the prestige of Cornell or Upenn for law school--not your undergrad. Just my opinion; I plan on attending law school too!</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I have to say that I'll probably just stay at my current university both in order to maintain my GPA and to have sufficient time to study for the LSAT (I have way more than enough time to do extremely well although I work 30 hours/week). </p>
<p>Still, I'd love to go to Cornell. It's a tough decision, but I suppose it's in my best interest to stay in Iowa and save money whilst still having the ample amounts of free time required for domination of the LSAT. </p>
<p>Unless you are miserable where you are, stay there. Grad schools in general really like taking kids from less-well-known schools. Your record is great. Honestly, once you finish Law School no one really cares where you went to college (but they will care about your Law School!)</p>
