No one can say you will or will not be able to transfer to this university or that university. Find a place you “fit”. The happier you are the better you will do. Prestige is not the end game. Happiness is the end game. People are highly successful from all types of schools. Reading in between the lines you are caught up in prestige and it maybe blinding you to happiness and success. Does Amhurst really provide more opportunities than lets say your state flagship? Too many people get caught up in ratings in my humble opinion. There are no guarantees in this world.
