Transfer or Freshman Application?

I have had meetings with the undergraduate director in math and the college administrators; they really left a lot of it up to me. If I were to attend undergraduate school for a few years, it would certainly not be at this local university, as it really isn’t the place for me. The graduate classes here are of a lower level than some undergraduate classes elsewhere, and I have already won undergraduate competitions here. For attending another undergraduate institution, I now have the options to either get the local university degree later via reverse credit transfer, or try to enroll and then apply as a transfer to receive the degree (since I’d be enrolled officially in the spring of my senior year) while still attending the other college as I would be accept (would need to do a lot of logistics on this).

Speaking of paid opportunities at the local university, I have had some in CS and have some lined up (pending potential funding etc), but sadly have not confirmed a long term one like I wanted (unless one specific lab gets their funding). I also reached out to someone the math director mentioned to see if I could get more paid opportunities on the quant finance internship side given I have coursework experience of an undergraduate.
