Undergraduate Transfer Question

Question

Hello,

I am a rising second-year at Emory University studying philosophy and neuroscience. I want to eventually try to go into academia and continue to teach and write philosophy (hopefully) as a professor one day. Emory is a very continental heavy school and my experience (at least in my first year) has been negative. I spent a lot of time with Heidegger and wrote a paper about him, but it was not an enjoyable experience. This summer I've been doing a lot of independent reading and I find myself gravitating towards philosophy of science and other traditionally analytic subjects. At present, I think Emory only has one professor with a background in philosophy of the mind, and I'm considering transferring to another school with a more analytic (or at least more balanced) faculty. My main worry is being at a disadvantage applying to analytic heavy graduate schools from a continental undergraduate program. Is this a real concern or does the undergraduate education not matter so much? If it does matter, is transferring necessary, or is it possible to self-study/focus on non-continental work in classes and be prepared for graduate applications?  

Any relevant information would be helpful!
