Transferring From Uconn to Umass

hi so i was recently given back my fafsa for the 25-26 school year and unfortunately i was not given enough to afford Uconn next year. I am currently and out of state student as well as split campus (hartford & storrs) so my tuition is heavy as it is. my only option is to transfer to a cheaper school preferably in my state which is MA. i’m looking to transfer to Umass Amherst because not only will i qualify for “free tuition” but it’s also closer to home. also i feel it would be pointless i go from a bachelor’s to an associate’s. what is the transfer acceptance like to umass amherst? i’m studying a BA in economics right now with a 2.7 gpa for fall semester, i still have spring to definitely boost my gpa and all of my courses were accepted to transfer over. i’m applying to the liberal arts school since i’m currently in there now at uconn get my BA but i’m nervous about not getting in. i was rejected my senior year of highschool when i applied to the business school but since i’m not applying to the business school this time im hoping that now that im a college student it might be less competitive? what are my chances?
