Transfer universities?

Hi, I will be attending Boston University this fall as a freshman and I was wondering if I should transfer after my freshman year to a semi-target school for Consulting? Realistically, I have a good shot at transferring to Emory, UVA, U of Mich and UNC. The reason of this transfer would be purely due to fear that I won't get a consulting job at one of the top consulting firms after graduating from BU and although I love Boston, there doesn't seem to be a school between BU and MIT/Harvard in terms of prestige. Thanks!
