Hi everybody, I’m a sophomore transferring to a 4 year this year and I was wondering. Target with a bunch of loans or non-target with almost no debt? I have a decent network, GPA (3.8) and certifications in what I want to do post-grad (I want to either try for S&T like a maniac or any form of WM/AM). So do you guys think I would be able to mitigate the fact that I went to a non-target if I worked hard enough?

All forms of feedback are appreciated.
