I didn't get in

Here are the two options I would consider

Bridget covered the majority of the things that I was going to suggest. Personally, I would stay in Seattle, get the volunteer experience done (which admission counselors really do look at... trust me since I do admission work now!), and re-take the LSATs. The pro and con list leans towards staying and it will save you the heartache of starting over.

But sometimes, we need to start over.

Thanks, guys. The big thing I need to find out first is how many transfers Seattle U accepts on average. I know they only consider you if you are in the top third of your class at the school you are coming from, which potentially means a lot of busting my ass in the next year. I need to know if it's worth my time and effort even to transfer.
The bonus to re-applying is I don't have to re-write my essays or have new letters of recommendation written for me. All I have to do is complete the application and pay the fee. They will keep everything else on file.
I definitely agree with the living with roommates and saving money thing-it would be nice to have the chance to pay down my undergrad loans a bit more and pay off my car.
And yes, I would begin working with Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts immediately. Better networking, better chance of possibly securing an internship/legal job for the next year, all around good thing. San Diego "claims" to have a chapter, but it doesn't look nearly as active as the one in Washington.

Lots to think
