I want to transfer to a top engineering institution.

I messed up in highschool. I didn’t care and didn’t try. I got accepted at a CUNY school (queens college). I will be going there come fall. I think it’s a perfectly fine school and I’m glad I even got accepted considering my grades in hs where in the high 70s, but as long as I stay there I will be reminded that I got there because I didn’t work hard. I really want to turn things around and focus on getting somewhere that’s right for me. Right now I want to be an engineer. Recently I’ve fallen in love with all things math and physics(just one of many things I wish I practiced in hs, but now I’m determined to change things for the better). So I ask what top schools or top engineering schools would be likely accept a transfer? I know M. I. T. is considered the best school in the country for engineering, but I also know it is next to impossible to transfer in. Should I even try? What other schools could get me similar opportunities like MIT but not as selective in their transfer admissions?
