I’m currently at cooley law i‘m ranked top 5% of my class with a 40% merit scholarship

i got accepted to Chicago Kent with 60k for the next two years

uic law in Chicago accepted me but didn’t offer a scholarship

i’m going to ask both for scholarship increase (because I’m worried about the cap that will affect me - I don’t have savings or family to help cover the rest)

I have no idea what to doooo (I know cooley has a bad rep but it doesn’t seem that bad attending there this past year)

Does anyone know what tier 1 & tier 2 schools are still open and accepting transfer applications?

I don't have any specific schools in mind because most of the ones I wanted closed and I didn't get a chance to apply due to financial constraints but that isn't an issue anymore.

(top 5% of my class, lots of extracurricular's) - goal is to transfer up for better opportunities and income options than current school offers (low tier school)

my schools says they cannot send my letter of good standing to LSAC. Am I supposed to order a letter of good standing per school I apply to from national clearing house (placing separate orders of $10)??

that seems like a stupid way to spend a bunch of money

also what do people write in addendum if 1L grades are good (mine before 1L was about my LSAT)

how late am I to apply to transfer right now???? honestly what are my chances and how bad is it. I’m at a low ranked school but top 5% of my class.

goal - transfer up duh (also don’t really like my school)

(have all app materials ready - delayed due to money constraints)
