Should I stay or should I transfer?

If your main concern is prestige/academic quality and you enjoy econ then by all means try to transfer to one of the schools you listed.

That being said if you have the gpa/sats/extra curriculars to easily transfer to one of those schools than you should be pretty competitive to transferring into Marshall if you wish. Why not apply to transfer to all of them as well as internally to Marshall and see where you get in and what sort of financial aid options you get?

Honestly if I was doing Econ, it is pretty much a given you will want to also do a masters/phd so I would prefer doing my undergrad somewhere where you get the full well rounded college experience like USC and then do my graduate study at one of the more prestigious programs with better recruiting for that major.
