Any Target/Semi Target Schools accepting Spring 2025 transfers

Im a cc student transferring to a 4 year university this coming spring and wanted to get some help with targeting schools that accept incoming spring transfers. I know Cornell and UMiami Herbert BS are two schools accepting? Anyone know of any other schools in the US?
