College Transfer Recommendation?

EC's: Many (they're all interconnected, showing depth)
ACT: 20
Essay: incredible!
(Freshman year)
Although my hs gpa and ACT are low, I had extreme extenuating circumstances. I would love to go to Northwestern or Vanderbilt, but I'm afraid that my h.s. grades would hinder me. Do you guys have any good schools that would accept me?</p>

<p>Stay for another year, and hs grades + ACT won’t play any significances upon transferring.</p>
