My sense is that typical freshman level involvement in ECs won’t help you particularly; it’s what the admissions office would expect to see. I’d aim for a 3.9ish GPA. Work hard to get to know a couple of professors so you can get good recs and seriously consider your “Why Yale?” transfer essay. Wanting to go to a less Greek school, for instance, won’t be a compelling reason.
