Got my rankings back from my 1st semester today. I go to a T3 state school and am want to transfer to the best T1 that will take me.
I ranked 16 out of 126 in my class (16/126). That makes me in the top 13%. How well do I have to perform to have a chance at the following:

UW
UC Hastings
George Washington
Georgetown
Other T1 Schools

To transfer into the T14 you need:
-top 10-15% at T1, top 5-10% for CCN
-top 5-10% at a T2, top 5% for CCN
-top 1-2% at a T3/T4
-Other notes: Depending on how far up you want to transfer, you may even succeed if you are ranked top 20-30%. For example, if you are transferring up like 10-15 spots, top 20-30% maybe enough (like a lateral transfer). Also, people in the T3/T4 generally only have a shot at transfer friendly schools in the T14.

To transfer into the T1 you need:
-top 10-20% at a T2
-top 5-10% at T3
-top 5% at T4
-Other notes: Depending on just exactly where you are and how far up you want to transfer, you can again make the jump by being in the top 20-30%.

Thanks for the advice. Does anyone have advice on West Coast T1 schools such as UW and UC Hastings?

So I'd say you have an uphill battle.

meh I think the ranges are more fluid than arrow suggests in the second half of that section. Adcomms' perceptions of T2/T3 schools don't necessarily align with USNWR ranking (and, regardless, there are constant changes within these tiers). OP: I would apply everywhere you have a real interest in the T1 and see what sticks. The app fees are a minor investment in the long run.
