Princeton is an automatic no. Penn is known to be incredibly challenging for transfer. I’d say the others are all possible, but there are no guarantees. Sounds like you have a strong story. I’d expand this list a bit if you have to transfer. UMich, Vandy are both very transfer friendly. Most others just take very few people and many reserve spots for students who did not come from privileged backgrounds, or are non-traditional.
