Hi,
Scenario 3 from the link below: 
DS-160 is submitted. The SEVIS fee is paid. Visa payment is made. The visa interview date is booked. The Visa interview is done.

If you have appeared for the interview and the F1 visa is approved. After that you receive an i20 from a better university then you will have to start the visa process again.
1. Get an i-20 from your new university.
2. Transfer SEVIS fee
3. Fill and submit a new DS-160 with the details from the new university.
4. Pay the visa fees again.
5. Schedule and attend the visa appointment a second time.

Sevis fee transfer process:
1. You will have to transfer the SEVIS fee from one university to another through fmjfee website.
2. Log in to the fmjfee website(Department of homeland security website). Check your I-901 status. If there is a valid record of your I-901 fee, you will see a transfer button. You just need to click it. The FAQ section on the fmjfee website has the details on how to transfer.
3. The website will prompt you to fill in the SEVIS ID and the school code of the new university.
4. You will get a confirmation email for the transfer request. If rejected, the reason will be mentioned in the email.

Important note - The SEVIS fee is $350 and you need to carry its payment receipt during your visa interview. SEVIS fees have nothing to do with scheduling your visa appointment. You can pay it anytime before your visa interview.
