Yes, you will need to get their initials/signature. Don’t be apologetic. If you want to hedge your bets, tell them that you are not sure but may want to transfer and so you are submitting these applications. You don’t have to tell them the real reason either. Make one up that is comfortable for you. EXCEPTION: profs from whom you want recommendations; probably best to let them know your thinking, what you are looking for… as it will help them write a good recommendation for you.

Profs will not think ill of you for considering a transfer. You are not the first and you won’t be the last.
