Applying to schools rejected before

Hi
Is it pretty much waste of money if you apply to top50 schools that you got rejected as a Freshman?
I’m not in CC. I’m in oos 4 yr state college. My home state does not have top50 colleges so it is not really worth transferring there unless I get cheap deal.
So I am in the oos game

If they rejected you as a freshman, don’t bother reapplying as a transfer from an oos 4-year university. You need to make your list carefully.

@MYOS1634 could you please explain your reasoning? I’m interested.

OP-- could you please note whether you’re applying from public to public? Private to public? Etc.
