We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Being in a T1 gives enough opportunities to overcome 1 drop year.
I would still suggest to go for partial. You won't have a "gap year" that way.
I would have opted for a drop and then given it my all next year because the cost of slsp or jgls is just too high for a law degree from a college that is not counted as "tier 1".
For the record, I understand you can do great even as. jgls and/or sls grad, and people have in fact done great. Just that odds are relatively stacked against you.
You should be able to get into a good private college even next year (including the two above).
If you want litigation, university doesn't matter.
If you want judiciary, university doesn't matter.
If you want civil services, university doesn't matter.
If you want corporate, internships and PPO matter more.
