You should consider the Claremont Colleges if you want to stay in SoCal. Pomona appears to be a good fit for you!
These resources will help you sort through potential transfer destinations that would be excellent for economics:
A more quantitative approach to economics is generally good, if you can handle the math (presuming you can). PhD programs in economics, quant finance jobs, actuarial jobs, etc. would all benefit from having had a more quantitative approach in school.
Caltech’s economics department is not that big: https://catalog.caltech.edu/current/ec , but there is a related BEM department with finance courses if that is your main interest: https://catalog.caltech.edu/current/bem
Could you please share your experience? Others might benefit in the future. Did you end up transfering? As a sophomore or junior?

@Nightshadow00 Would love to know how this went for you. I’m in a similar situation with some of the same reasons for why I might want to transfer, so it’d be great to know how it turned out for you if you did go through with it!
hi! Are you also a Caltecher? I am. Applying for spring transfer this term.
