Berkeley may be a little tough, since presumably at least a few people ranked above you will be applying to transfer as well.

UCLA you should have a really good shot, especially if you really target your PS, etc. I know of a couple people in my class who transferred from Santa Clara, and they were right around top 10% from what I gather/recall.

USC is much tougher to tell, as they typically have a REALLY small transfer class, and seem to make strange transfer decisions. (E.g., I know of someone who got into a number of T14 schools including Berkeley, and got rejected from USC.)
