Should I transfer to NYU as an incoming junior (want BB). Non Target.

I just finished my sophomore year of undergrad at a bottom-of-the-barrel college when it comes to IB placement (one student ever to land at a BB). been working remotely as a LMM analyst since November, but missed the pipeline for a BB SA role in 2027. Not sure how, but I was accepted to NYU today to study Econ in the College of Arts and Sciences (~5% acceptance rate). I'm not sure what to do. Should I stick it out at my non-target and try to make it work, or roll the dice and head to NYC? Any NYU students/alumni or people who have or considered doing something similar, I would love to hear your opinion on whether it is worth it or not. I have a week to decide pls help.
