I think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself. Go to UCSB and wait at least a semester before really making your list of transfer schools. Once you have a semester’s GPA, then reconsider where you’re applying to. The Ivies aren’t the only place you can network and be extremely successful from. Plus, based on what you’ve said, you’re probably going to go to grad school or law school. Know that where you get your masters or law degree holds more weight than where you went for undergrad. Since you’ve said your family is low income, it might be better to save some money by staying at a state school, get excellent grades, and then attend a prestigeous university after.
