<p>Hello! I just finished my freshman year of college, but law school is my ultimate goal. I spent my fall semester at Purdue, and then Transferred to University of san Diego. I love my school, my my family is having financial problems. If I spent my sophomore year at a community college and then transferred to a UC, how would that look??</p>
<p>It wouldn’t matter at all.</p>
<p>Really? I guess thats good…</p>
<p>I too have a question in this matter. </p>
<p>I am in a similar situation accept that I have already taken 80 units at a community college. I think only 60 of those cc units will be transferred to the 4 year university I am transferring this fall. </p>
<p>That said, when I apply to law schools, schools will have only 1 year worth of university course work to evaluate. So, I thought about taking a year off after graduation and have two full years of course work on the final transcript for my application. </p>
<p>I think my overall GPA will be slightly higher at the end of junior year since I will be taking a lot of advanced courses in senior year. Also, because I am a non-traditional student, I am not too fond of another gap year. So, unless having 2 years worth of university course work have far better impact on my application, I prefer to apply during my junior year. What are your thoughts? Would having only 1 year worth of university course work have any negative impact on my application vs. when having 2 years course work? or do they only care about the numbers/GPA?</p>
<p>^Law schools will take all college courses into account, including CC.</p>
<p>Will top law schools look down on it?</p>

<p>No they wouldn’t look down on it, as long as you had close to a 4.0</p>
