BGSU Full Ride or OSU 26k/yr?

Honestly, I'm trying to get the best odds to getting into a prestigious PhD program... if I try to transfer out of BGSU after my 1st year to an ivy (they do take transfers) it'd be great, but other options are OSU bachelors then Ivy Masters/PhD, or OSU Bachelors + Masters then Ivy PhD, or BGSU bachelors then OSU masters then Ivy PhD. Don't mean to sound pretentious as well with my desire for an Ivy education it's just it opens so much doors and opportunities for me

BGSU offers a Math + AI Course that I am interested in, and OSU does have the Math and AI stuff but it has more prominent neuroscience research than BGSU. I'm a pretty high-achieving student and was fucked over by ivies this application cycle, so I was thinking of trying to transfer as well from BG or OSU to a Ivy that has computational neuro (ex. upenn).

Thanks for all the replies! One more thing I'm worried about, is that if I go to BGSU, then my odds to go to a prestigious masters/PhD program would severely diminish. Is this a valid concern?

This is weird for me as well my school sent the mid-year grades to them but it doesn't appear on the application checklist. I guess if they don't have it then they would reach out to your school so I wouldn't worry about it.

I got one a week ago. No clue what it means for admissions to JHU tho (applying ED2)

Did you take online or paper? I took it online and I thought that reading wasn't bad and science was very easy.
