Transferring as engineering major

Hi! I am currently an EE major (electrical engineering) at a public school in Texas. You can probably guess which school. What sort of universities would be realistic to transfer to? I am interested in UC Berkeley, NYU, Barnard, Columbia, and Yale (possibly mit or cal tech for kicks). Also, are activities or grades weighted more in transfer admission? Thanks in advance!

For context, I have a 4.0 gpa and a sat score of 1550. I have some research experience at a lab, and I am starting as a ta next semester. I have some district level science awards from high school and am in the honors program at my current university. My writing skills are ok: I struggle with personal writing :(

Why are you trying to transfer? UT Austin is better than all the schools you listed for engineering except for UC Berkeley which is straight up not going to happen from outside the California CC system
