Transferring to Wharton/HSB from Richard Ivey

I'm also and AEO student and have several extra curricular activities, of which is a summer internship this summer for two months with the best private wealth firm in Switzerland. What do I need to do to have a shot at transferring to top tier unis in the states like Wharton and Stern or so?
