NYU is possible with good ECs and essays. ANY of the Ivys, including Cornell, are very very unlikely, unless you have stellar ECs and essays. It’s not a simple matter of getting a higher GPA in college than you had gotten in high school. At top colleges you’d be competing in an uphill battle with those with high GPAs in both college AND high school. You need to find something to do, show leadership in it, and keep working extracurricularly (for lack of a real word) and as a student with a real-life reason to want to transfer. Do fantastic (not just grade-wise), stay for 2 years, and then you might meet your hopes.
