Will my poor high school transcript prevent me from transferring to an Ivy League school?

I am currently in 12th grade, and my transcript will not get me to my dream schools. Certain factors prevented me from performing well in my freshmen year, leading into my sophomore year. I made the honor roll last year to bring my GPA up to a measly 3.0, currently have all As, and have also tested well on the SAT and other standardized tests, but my first two years are laughable to selective schools. My goal right now is to attend whichever decent college I can get in to for a year or two before applying to transfer into Ivy Leagues, but I don’t know how heavily they will weigh my first two years of high school. Does it depend on how long I wait, or will it always be a factor?
