They only take 100 transfers total a year. They are taken from summer and fall applications. Both application dates are January 1st so I would say competitiveness is the same. The sooner you get it in, the better. You’ll need close to 4.0 or something that sets you apart (work/extra curricular as etc).
I would say but don’t know for sure, that they would look at summer apps first. But that is a total presumption in my part.
