Actually, you need to think this through, because the very selective colleges are looking for WHY you want to transfer to them in particular. They are acutely sensitive to the fact that a lot of students would like to transfer ‘up’. They will look at your explanation about what they have that your current college does not (besides, obviously, prestige). If you don’t know what you want to study, how do you know that you can’t do it at your current college, and how do you know that their version of it is the right one for you? That’s your bigger challenge.

Within a college unit (eg, A&S, Business, etc) and between overlapping subject groups it is typically not hard to refine your choice, esp as a 2nd year.
