Transferring from UIUC freshman year

How hard is it to transfer from UIUC to a private school like U of Chicago during your freshman year (matriculating soph. year) in terms of getting professor and dean recs? This is assuming decent HS stats (top 12ish %, 33+ ACT, lots of APs).

The problem probably won't be on UIUC's end. Transferring is generally something you do at the end of your 2nd year. So it will depend on how open to early transferring UChicago is. Might be a little tough to get recs from professors and deans at UIUC that early too, since most freshman classes are enormous and the relationship between student and professor is poor or non-existent. And deans...you'd probably have to do some outstanding work for their approval, and for freshman in gen eds it's hard to do anything ground-breaking or worthy of recognition.
