Help with Transfer to BFA Graphic Design

Hi guys! I’m currently applying to CSULB for transfer into their graphic design major. I’m really torn because the program recommends you don’t apply to the BFA upon transfer, even if you have all the required classes (which I do). I know you only have two chances to get accepted into the BFA, so I don’t know if I take a chance and apply directly to the BFA with my current portfolio, or play it safe and just go for the BA. I would love advice from any current students/transfers in this program. Thanks!
