You need 60 hours from a university in order to graduate. So unless you are planning on transferring immediately you will be taking extra classes to graduate.
From the statistics you provided there is almost no way you get into any of the law schools you mentioned.
I know people with 3.9+ and 164-166s on their LSATs that got rejected from Northwestern.
Best case scenario you end up with a 3.3ish (that is straight 4.0 for your last 60 hours) and a 1900 on the SAT probably translates to a low to mid 150s on the LSAT.

probably because those are low LSAT scores. on the other hand its hard to make up for a low gpa, too. the op would have to study hard
for now I have made it my goal to transfer though, I just really find it suffocating to live at home while going to college.
I noticed that you did not answer my questions. Can you at least tell us if your parents have had a change of heart and are allowing you to transfer, live in the dorms and major in what you want? Will they pay for this. For those who wonder why I ask this, please see this poster's "Poll" and post on the Parenting Forum.

I do not believe in carrying over drama from one thread to a thread on a completely different section

what about retaking classes and such?
and plus my bad grades are in science classes, what if I do good in classes relevant to law and such
can I do things after college to boost my application?
can't I just aim for graduate studies, do good in those, and then try to apply for professional school that way?
I don't know if this has been suggested, but your current and future colleges must have an advisement dept. They are in a better position (they will have a copy of your transcript) to guide you. People have overcome shaky starts to become stellar students and go on to great graduate programs. However, no one will have the answers for you except for an advisor.
I am not a fan of flame wars but they happen. Everyone, obviously the user "gimme it" is trying to bring something completely irrelevant (or mostly irrelevant) to the situation on here. Not only will it fail to solve problems, it will create more issues. I urge you to ignore the parents thread and her outlook on it and be more objective as you have been in giving me educational advice. You have all been helpful and supportive in this matter to me, I would like for it to stay that way.
As a member, I find the crowd on this section is far more understanding of the issue and willing to offer a resolution as opposed to just outright attacking me and calling me a whiner (which I have been occasionally).
??
Why ignore a thread that YOU started? If you don't want comments, don't start threads.
(BTW... the two thread are relevant together.)
