Engineering Student Looking to Transfer

Hello, I am currently an engineering student who just finished his freshman year, and am looking to transfer to a better engineering school at the end of my sophomore year. I wish to stay in the northeastern area, however I was also looking for colleges that provide good financial aid. If you guys have any good recommendations please let me know. anywhere in upstate in Newyork, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or any near states are fine. thank you!!

I forgot to add on, I am also hoping on having a 3.6+ gpa by that time as I currently have a 3.5. I am also on par w all the engineering classes and not behind

Why transfer? if your college has an ABET accredited degree, it should help you find a good job after graduation. Transferring might cause you to lose some time despite your best efforts because many engineering curricula have 6-semester required sequences.

well my college has an engineering program which allows you to take classes for two years and then helps you transfer out because its not an engineering school.
