Some Ivys DO accept transfers. Some do not. My son played with a couple transfers, and they were drop downs from previous P5 programs.

Realistically you need a coach to get a college coach interested in him. Even the Ivy's are tough to crack because those coaches have people they trust for referrals.
Yes, Ivys are tough to crack. Some use a network of travel baseball referrals, and some use college coach referrals, and most do both. College coaches do a lot of networking and talking amongst themselves. I know for a fact that two D1 mid-majors floated my son's name to two different Ivys because they had good friends that were RCs. The bottom line is if you have a strong advocate, D1 skills, and the grades/rigor to be considered then you will most likely get contacted. With that said, I would not wait around. If Ivy is a path you seriously want to consider then I would be reaching out to introduce myself.
As always, JMO.
