Reapplying to a PhD program while attending another one


Let's say person A really wants to go to school X for his PhD but he was not able to get admission in this round of applications. A, however has an offer from another school Y, where a person with strong ties to school A has agreed to be his advisor if he attends Y. Is there any good strategy that A can use that will help him get into X if he applies again next year? At the same time A would still like to attend Y and do research with said person at Y in case X rejects him again. Applying as a transfer student doesn't seem like a very good option, since transfers happen in graduate school only in very special circumstances. Could applying as a freshman work out? Would admission committees view A more critically if they know he is already a graduate student at another institute?
