First of all, congratulations on your strength of spirit and all you have achieved in spite of the health hardships you have faced. You are an inspiration to the rest of us. :)

I think that your application will be seen quite favorably even though your high school GPA is rather low for some of your reach schools (Tufts, Cornell, Penn, JHU, Oberlin) given your unique situation and all you achieved during your illness. Further, you have good reasons for wanting to transfer, so make sure you articulate them as well as possible in your applications. And finally, you have done very well in college.

I wish you the best of luck, Sfjohnson. You’ll do great.
