Where do I go for school

I’m graduating community college in a week and I have been accepted to several Patriot League and Liberty League schools (average-prestige imo). My academic advisors mentioned I should also apply to Ivy League schools, but of course the applications are over. Should I transfer to my accepted schools and then apply to the ivies or maybe even NESCAC? Or should I take this year off to save to world and pad my resume? Please help
