If your plan is that you want to transfer to somewhere more prestigious than Brandeis, which is not second rate, that’s going to depend on your professor recommendations and what you do while you are in your first year. Achieving anything notable and getting good recs means that you have to invest yourself in your college from the outset. You are going to have a hard time doing well if you start with a mindset that you’ll be leaving and so there is no point in putting forth your best effort.
Please do not make the mistake of starting college with this mindset. Students say this all the time. Most of the time, it doesn’t work out how they intend. You may end up miserable with nothing to show for it. Just go and make the most of wherever you end up. Transferring “up” is VERY difficult.
There is a reason you were accepted to your current colleges. There are reasons why you didn’t get accepted where you were denied. You hopefully did your research and applied to schools you would be happy to attend because they were solid schools, not just back ups should all else fail.
@JMSC Brandeis has a very good CS ranking. This student’s logic on wanting to combine it with Liberal Arts is sound. https://computer-science-schools.com/brandeis-university
