Is getting in as a soph transfer nearly impossible?

I didn’t apply to UMich as a first-year applicant, but I’ve come to realize (after the deadline -_-) that it’s a great fit for me. And because of this, I intend to apply as a sophomore transfer. I’ll be majoring in Actuarial Math at Pitt this coming fall, and want to concentrate in the same thing at Mich. However, from what I gather, it seems that getting into Michigan as a sophomore transfer is very difficult. Is there truth to this?

I know more weight would be put on my high school career. From that, I have a 2240 SATI (1490 Math + CR), 2270 SATII (770/770/730), 3.93 UW/4.62 W GPA, I’m in the top 2% of my class, and I have all right ECs. Even if I can get in the 3.9-4.0 GPA range freshman year and actively participate in some clubs and organizations at Pitt, would it still be highly unlikely that I could get in as a transfer?
