Too early to transfer??

I just graduated HS, and plan to attend a college that is not my first choice, but financially was most feasible. We did some FA forms late and others didn’t consider a sibling who will graduate early, so some more prestigious colleges and colleges I visited and generally enjoyed more ended up not being financially possible.

This year I was hoping to do forms on time and they should be more accurate, so I hope apply as a transfer to schools I was admitted into and others that I have learned about after this years process. So basically I have a few questions:

Will it look bad next year applying to the colleges I chose not to attend this year? Do I need to notify them with continued interest and regret for not attending?

Is it too early to get in contact for interviews since I haven’t even started college or do I wait? This summer seems to quite convenient to set them up.

What other things could I do to distinguish myself as a transfer applicant this summer?

Thank you, ATLs
