“Can I apply as a first-year student to USC, NYU, UChicago, UPENN,…”

As others have mentioned, no. Once you start university anywhere, you have to tell schools about it when you apply, and you have to apply as a transfer student. Also, your 1200 on the SAT is not going to help you to get into universities at this level.

However, I know quite a few people who graduated with a bachelor’s from universities in Canada, and then went to graduate school in the US. Some went to top schools including Princeton and Stanford. Graduate school admissions in the US know how strong universities are in other countries including Canada. I don’t see how these four schools that you mentioned have any significant advantage over the top universities in Canada (or the top schools in several other countries).

It sounds like you will be starting university in about two or three weeks. I would suggest that you work very hard, try to get good grades, and expect that you will probably stay where you are (or where you are about to be) for four years.
