im currently considering transfering, but am sort of confused in this aspect of it. right now im a declared econ major but if i transfer would it just be easier to switch to undecided? then i wont have to worry about prerequisites and all that jazz. also is it easier to transfer undecided since there a certain amount of slots in each major, for instance i know transfering into econ at bucknell is specifically difficult, but am clueless in other institutions.

many thanks

I never really heard of any one transfering as undecided.. I think colleges expect you to know your major by the time you even apply.

It depends how far along you are. Most colleges would prefer you to declare a major, but you can apply as undecided if you need to. You'll have better luck if you're a sophomore transfer than a Junior transfer.

I know Cornell admits zero undeclared transfers, but don't know about other schools.

Perhaps the best thing to do is narrow it down to a few schools that you're really interested in and determine if they accept undeclared sophomore transfers.

or if i decided to apply declared, i need to get all the pre reqs out of the way ?

it really depends on the school. hence all the questions asking what school you are considering.
