“I heard that….”

“I wanted to make sure transfer opportunities could be one of the factors that could help me decide where to enroll.“
You heard wrong- it’s not a meaningful metric in evaluating transfer applications.
Taking a very small leap, I am guessing that you feel that the school that you are going to in Sept is beneath you, and you are hatching your escape plan. For all of the reasons mentioned above - and a few others- your best path is to throw yourself into your new school and make it as successful as you possibly can. IF you end up finding that you are happy there- that’s a win- & by then the things that seem super important will have changed. But, if you have done your honest best to bloom where you are planted and this time next year you are still confident that it’s not your path, then 1) the year will have been happier than if you spent it unhappily waiting and 2) your transfer application will be stronger- so win again!
