Transfer to target-schools : What can i do?

Hi. I'm freshman in South Korea. I'm planning to prepare transfer for ivy. Scores for transferring are Hm...not so bad, i guess. I'll choose Business major. This is second semester for me, so there would be a time before deadline. But you know, it is really hard to go there and actually i'm not sure it is worth or not. I will do my best to go universities that can give me financial aids, but it's not certain that i can get them. Also, i don't have permanent residency/citizenship and i've heard it would be really hard to get jobs if i don't have them even if i work well. The reason i want to transfer is, American markets are bigger than here, and there would be more opportunities to go Hedge funds/pf after 2-3 analysts. What do you think?

I agree with the above comment.

And to add little more, if you do plan on transferring and successfully do so, just prepare yourself for the different aspects about academia that exist between Korea's and the U.S.'
