Considering transferring twice - help

I attended a tier 1 liberal arts college (think Swarthmore, Carleton, Middlebury) for my freshman year. For cultural fit reasons, I transferred to NYU (but not Stern) as a result of my low GPA.

NYU dedicates most of its recruiting resources to the Stern school, and I have been told that internally transferring to Stern is not possible for someone who has externally transferred.

I plan on a career in investment banking. My freshman GPA bounced back to a 3.64 at the end of that year, and my GPA right now is 4.0. Since I’ve been given bleak looks by employers (who overwhelmingly prefer Stern students), I’ve been considering to transfer again, with some of my applications already completed ready to submit.

The problem is should I, or can I? I plan on applying to mid-to-lower Ivies (Penn, Brown, and Cornell).

Thanks in advance.
