I would apply to colleges that are fits for your current stats and attend with the intention of staying there four years. You should be able to get into many fine schools. IMO if you to to a school with the intention of transferring then you will never give the school a fair chance as it will be hard to get invested in friends and activities where you are. If you end up staying there you will make yourself miserable.

When you are at your school, see how things play out. Transferring can work out for some but there are difficulties in that process some of which include: 1) transfer students rarely get merit aid 2) top schools take few transfer students 3) you may lose credits in a transfer 4) transferring can be difficult socially as most people at the school you will transfer to have strong friend groups already in place.
