College transferring
I am now a rising sophomore at a top 3 LAC. The reason why I chose this school in the first place is that I have always been thinking about going into academia. However, I changed my mind as I see the high financial burden of getting an econ/politics Ph.D. after talking to many of my professors. Now I am thinking about transferring to other colleges and I believe that the coronavirus has created the opportunity for me to at least make a try. There are both fewer people who would apply for colleges and more people who would take a gap year. A top university (target or semi target) would possibly provide me with more resources and help me with recruiting much more than my LAC would. The downside of transferring is 1) recruiting season overlaps with transferring season and 2) I am not sure how much time and effort I need to accommodate the new environment of a university. Any thoughts on this?

Assuming Williams or Amherst (#3 is debatable), tap into that alumni network and you should be just fine and maybe even at an advantage compared to most of the schools you'd be able to transfer to.
Lol what if I am at the #3
Anybody?
If it's Swarthmore, I reckon you could still tap into the LAC network and network with folks from Williams/Amherst/other LACs and receive a positive response. If you choose to transfer, you could/should consider extending graduation by a semester. You might be able to start FT in January or so (each bank probably has its own policy on this) rather than waiting until July of your hypothetical 5th year to start training. An extra 5 months in school is nothing in the grand scheme of your entire career if you take this perspective.
