Well, transfer admissions to Ivies are hardly wide open paths. I don’t know about Brown and Cornell specifically, but at most Ivies transfer admissions–if permitted!!–are even tougher than freshmen admissions. I think that you should have a well-formed college list–you should probably apply to more schools, by the way, since your case is a bit unusual–see where you get in, choose the best school for you, and then later consider if you really want to transfer. Transferring is fine if you really are unhappy, but it is just a whole other year of work and waiting and one more hard transition.
