Should you reapply to (undergrad) universities you were rejected from as a HS senior?

I'm a freshman at a non-target considering attempting to transfer to a target school. My grades are great (4.0) even if it is just sem 1, my application is rounded and imo better than it was in senior year. Is it worth reapplying to schools I got rejected from as a senior? (Georgetown, NYU, UMich, Columbia, Northwestern, UPenn more) Or are they going to reject me again? Thanks for any thoughts.
