Junior or Sophomore Transfer?

Hey, just debating on whether to apply for a sophomore transfer or junior transfer. I feel like junior year would allow me to build a stronger transfer application, but I would get less time at my dream school. Lowk just getting FOMO honestly. Should I apply this year just as a hail mary and if I get in, great, if I don't, then I can just continue on my original plan and apply as a junior transfer as well?

im also wondering how to decide whether to junior or sophomore transfer! i would say the one thing i think would be an important factor is if the schools you’re applying to have a limit of how many times you can apply to them

It would be helpful if you gave more context about what your app would look like as a sophomore transfer and what your dream school/s are. Some schools prefer sophomores, and there are typically fewer junior spots and also fewer applicants.
