i’d say maintain a 4.0 at purdue (not hard to do since A-s are counted as 4.0s there) and transfer, unless you are SET on going to HYP or Caltech.

taking a year off is questionable unless you do something really big in that year, like published research, although if you are set on HYP or caltech it might be the only feasible option.

uchicago is not very difficult to transfer into relatively, harvard and yale are another story (harvard with about an 8% acceptance rate, yale with about a 4% for transfers) princeton doesn’t accept transfers. i believe caltech takes about 1 or 2 (basically not going to happen).

berkeley and ucla should not be too difficult, though you’ll have to bow out of the way for in-state CC transfers
