CUNY quant?

Hi. I messed up when I was younger, and am currently attending a CUNY community college and will transfer in about 2 weeks. I'm a math major. I want to be a quantitative analyst.

It seems like its very difficult to get in. From what I've seen, a good try for me would be to get perfect grades in undergrad and try to get into Baruch's MFE program.

What CUNY school should I transfer to? Should I go to Baruch for math or Queens college for CS? Should I consider City college or Hunter?

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks in advance!
