Transfer Chance Me (Rutgers or American)

I am a student who has to decide between Rutgers and American University for next fall, I don’t want to go to either and am hoping to transfer out to a T20 or Ivy for Political Science.

Would it be easier to transfer from Rutgers or American? I was thinking that American would be hard to transfer from if you want to study Poli Sci considering it is in DC and the T20 would be like ‘well ur in DC for poli sci what more do you want’. But also, I’d prefer to attend American this fall to at least get some DC experience…but American is also 50k more than Rutgers.
