You can still talk about wanting to be academically challenged (be very careful when discussing whether your classmates are “competitive” or not – it’s very easy to sound condescending).

However, whatever school you want to transfer to should be better than the one you’re at at what you want to study. For example, let’s say you’re studying business and your school offers a business major. That’s fine, but is your school Wharton? No? Then you have a strong case for transferring if you love studying business and you want to study at the best undergrad business school. Make sense?

Just because you CAN study something at a school doesn’t mean there aren’t better options worth transferring to out there.
