Does transferring to a target school in my junior year help me?

I'm a freshman at a non-target right now. This year, I haven't built up my resume to be target-school level but I'm working on building it up for next year. I was wondering if it would even be useful to transfer to a target school after my sophomore year since most recruiting for the junior internship takes place during sophomore year while I'm at my non-target.
