Transfer To A Different College or Stay?(Undergraduate)

I currently go to a non target that begins with a P known for engineering. I'm majoring in Mathematics + Computer Science looking to get into structured finance or trading preferably energy or equities.

Currently my schooling is free minus the cost of gas and food. So, when I come out of college I will be debt free ,but the trade off is "non target". The kind of firms I'm aiming for are not top tier (I'm being realistic). I do plan on applying to Financial Engineering programs after undergraduate if no job and that will not be free. So the question is if you were in my shoes what would you do?

Summary
3.8 GPA doubling in Comp Sci + Mathematics, 2nd year
Schooling is free
have extra curricular s + volunteering BS
low SAT scores
Career Goal Structured Finance or Trading

Thinking of xfering to Notre Dam, Michigan, etc. (prob have 50/50 chance)

Do you think it is worth the 40k+ a year ?

 

I don't think ND is worth it because they don't let you transfer to the business school also I did not meet a single ND grad when I interned in NYC (I assume they all got placed in Chicago). I say transfer provided your can get into an actual target school.
