hook: i’m not a native speaker and i just moved to the US three years ago.

I was rejected by princeton, yale, and stanford (didn’t apply to harvard and mit) and i’m going to upenn next year. What are my chances of transferring into the top-tier schools (hysm only since princeton doesn’t offer transfer admissions)? Also, I go to a ultra-competitive magnet school. I think it’s harder to get into the top-notch schools from here b/c it’s harder to stand out.
