Transfer, I went to a non-target undergrad and then to a target for my MMS, there is a world of difference, I can now easily reach out and talk to a BB MD or a MBB partner, the recruiting is much better too.
if you are happy where you are as you say you enjoy school then stay their. Direct your efforts into networking
I would like to at least apply to places and then make a decision based on if i got accepted any where else. There are pros and cons to my university as there would be pros and cons to the school that I transferred to. I kind of just want to get a feel for what schools I would be a good candidate for.
fair enough mate. Just make sure transferring does not provide too much of a distraction and that transferring does not unsettle you

apply, see where you get in, then decide. you can't get a hit if you're not swingin.
What schools should I consider? I would prefer to transfer to a school where I can take classes in accounting and finance rather than just major in econ. U of M Ross (although hard to transfer into) or Georgetown Mcdonaugh seem to be what I am looking for more than anything else. As far as Ross goes, with a 4.0 GPA and middle market experience, would I have a shot as a transfer?
How many people from your school land front office roles? How tight is the alumni network? How good are your high school stats?
If there are a small number of spots each year for people from your school you may be better off staying and crushing it than transferring to another school. I went to a school with a decent number of BB IBD spots but found that the talent pool was relatively less competitive than a lot of the other target schools mentioned frequently on this board. Being a target school is great in terms of opportunities but the pool can often be absurdly competitive as well.
Just my two cents as an alternative perspective. Best of luck!
