Transfer rates into MIT and the Ivies are extremely low. And I’ve often seen the limited spaces that do exist go to students from non-traditional or underrepresented backgrounds. So, if that’s not you, then to be in the running, you will probably have to really distinguish yourself wherever you land. If you don’t end up at a top-choice college initially, you might want to try to make a mark wherever you go and look ahead to MIT or an Ivy for graduate school rather than as a transfer.
