Umpi transfer to a brick and mortar?

[Legal]

Hi guys, Long time lurker and first time poster here. 

I am interested in becoming a lawyer eventually and I have my eye set on a top 5 law school. I have looked around a fair bit and haven't been able to find anyone who has went to a top 5 law school from UMPI. I am aware of someone on these forums who is currently going to Cornell law who attended TESU first but that does seem to be more of an exception. 

I am getting older (mid 30's) so accelerating through my bachelors anyway I can is ideally what I am looking for while still being able to get into a specific law school. If that can save me a year or two that's okay with me. I don't think hacking my bachelors via Sophia and study.com will necessarily work in my case but I guess I was more considering going to UMPI for 60 / 70 credits at an accelerated pace and then transferring to a brick and mortar for the other 50 / 60 credits. 

I know UMPI is Regionally accredited, but I am just wondering if this will work out? Will it be easy to transfer out credits from UMPI to a more recognizable brick and mortar university? any challenges you foresee doing it this way?

Thoughts? 

Thanks guys!

ABA law school admissions is in large part a numbers game based on your LSAC GPA and LSAT.

There are also qualitative consideration principally made by admissions committees and interviewers, but as long as your bachelor's school reads to them neither as exceptionally impressive (e.g., MIT) nor off-putting (e.g., a for-profit career school with consistent bad headlines), the differences in reputation between one school and another that are both broadly typical schools in the middle of the pack seems unlikely to matter much or at all.

At DegreeForum we're experts in transferability of credit into a handful of schools that are exceptionally friendly to transfer and alternative credit. Most schools are not exceptionally friendly to transfer credit, and it's hard to make useful predictions about the transfer friendliness of an unnamed hypothetical brick-and-mortar school. The fact that the credit is from UMPI will not be a problem in your hypothetical. But your hypothetical destination school might just be fussy about transfer credit generally, or fussy by department and course (e.g., to transfer a political science course, a political science professor at the destination school might need to review and approve the UMPI course syllabus).

UMPI is a state university with a campus. Law school admissions focuses on your GPA, LSAT, and you. A top 5 law school is ambitious for anyone no matter what college they did their undergrad at. You need graded courses so the more you take at UMPI the better. Less ACE is best for law school. There have been students who've graduated from WGU who've gone onto law school so why would UMPI be a problem? WGU doesn't even give grades - just pass/fail. You should also take classes with the same professor over and over and communicate with them. You'll probably need letters of recommendation and this is how you get them.
