Appeals and best route: A&M or PACE or CAP?

I was waitlisted and I want to appeal. I had submitted an appeal before the decisions came out yesterday–maybe 2/3 days before–and it was denied-- on the very day decisions came out. I suspect that they did not consider my appeal carefully which was about my recent acquisition of my SAT January score of 2350.

How can I make them consider it?

I was accepted to A&M and PACE and CAP. I plan on transferring after one year if I am not accepted. Which of the three has the highest “prestige”? Which of the three would give me the highest chance of being admitted to my major? (engineering)
