I do think many schools say in their rejection - you can always try us later - whether those words are true or not, I don’t know.
It seems like some schools have a far higher acceptance rate for transfer than out of high school and some don’t.
Vandy took 430 of 2450, for example, or nearly 18%. I don’t know after which year (first or second)- I know someone who transferred from New School after first year. The 18% is 2.5x their out of HS acceptance rate.
Cornell was 16% vs 8% in their latest CDS (a year old).
I think you have to look school by school and if you are serious then talk to a transfer counselor.
I would think going in after one year to a previous rejection is likely hard but I’d talk to the school if it’s one of interest - and I believe you’re seeking pedigree and while high teens acceptance is much better than single digit, it’s still not likely.
Good luck.
