Leaving USC due to major

Currently a sophomore transfer at USC and unhappy with my major. The school is great and enjoying it, but im not doing what i want to do and feel like its not worth going there due to this especially since im from the eastcoast. I am a English major looking to be a part of usc marshall through the internal transfer but if i were to do this I would need to spend an extra year there which means both more time and tuition (thats if im accepted). So thinking of staying home this spring semester, doing online courses, and hopefully transfer to a t10 school like a Cornell, nyu, or penn as a business major this time. Right now sitting with a 4.0 gpa with a confident feeling that I have a great shot at these schools. What do you guys think?

Speaking as a student at Penn (Wharton), pretty sure the website says that you can’t transfer if you’re already a sophomore. If they somehow let you, you’d 100% have to do at least a fifth year. At that point you might as well stay at USC and apply for Marshall.

I would say make sure that the school you’re transferring to is not a 4-year direct admit program from HS like Wharton is. Not sure about what the other schools are like
